There is no freedom

There is a school of thought that states that the world is not actually how it is but how we humans interpret it. An example of this is people who protest about fox hunting and live in cities. In their mind it's a cute little red furry animal. That's noble and friendly, and the cruel farmers are hunting them down and committing fox genocide to get their jollies. Of course in reality they're nasty furry bastards who kill chickens and on multiple occasions have clawed the faces off of kids.

But perception is interesting. Now take democracy, and freedom of speech. A great idea people say what they want, but can they? Say the wrong think to the wrong person and you've committed a hate crime. (See section under Orwellian language). In the 21st century is it time to admit that there is no freedom of speech merely a limited freedom or no freedom at all?

A great way that the masses are controlled is television. Instead of challenging our governments or indeed having a revolution they watch reality tv. They numb their own brains to the world. A self-Anaesthetise society.

Do I have any suggestions? Perhaps but what use are they unless people want to hear?

Love Always
