4. You're right much more than 60% is afraid

I'm not afraid any more about losing my job. I gave it up in 2002. I was good at what I did. I loved what I did. But now I'm a dinosaur. Any one I worked with or worked for said without equivocation that I would always be welcome.

I'm lucky I was able to walk away with enough to support me in the interim. Not sure how long it will last but but my task these days is to try and open the thought processes and perspectives of people willing to listen.

We aren't owned if we are not willing to be sold. I know that those at the greatest risk don't have the freedom to do anything but submit, but those of us that don't have to worry about where the next meal is coming from should be working in education of the masses. Education them about the systems and people who exploit their labor for profit and the propaganda they are exposed to every day.

Tell them to talk to neighbors, learn about their lives, Tell them to go to town council meetings, county commission meetings.
Find out what those "important people" are doing with "your money"
