When Being On A No Fly List Equals Freedom.
I may as well be on a, "no fly list," since I'm not ever, subjecting myself to the indignities, one has to endure at fucking airports in the United States and presumably, elsewhere, for that matter. If I can't take the stage coach then I'm not going. I'm not totally joking though, I prefer to travel by rail, bus or auto and those are just about my options too and I'm perfectly fine with that. There have been too many freedoms already lost in the United States and I'm not about to encourage more, through the likes of the TSA and putting up with their bullshit. 

Obviously, I'm probably the rare bird on this end, however, freedom is like security, if one's going to implement either or both, lifestyle changes will have to be made and compromises will be done on our own, personal terms. Let those other yahoos give up little chunks of themselves, all in the name of, perceived speed and convenience, I'm not having any of it. I'm going to do that one thing that I hate doing, which is to pretend. I'm going to pretend that I live in an era where the quickest way from point A to point B, by land is via a horse. That usually gets me in the proper frame of mind. I don't know why I keep knocking pretense so hard, in many of my articles and posts. Since, it seems, that when done properly, may indeed, induce the right frame of mind, posture and attitude. Screw the TSA, I'm not sacrificing any freedoms for any security. 

Also, it's important to remember, that those powerful people, in high and low places, don't have to force anyone to accept their beast mark, they just have to cause them to. So in the end the decision to accept or not is entirely up to the individual. What would cause someone to accept the proverbial mark of the beast would have to be related to that someone's own perception of life, one supposes. Anyway whichever way you're travelling these days pay attention and be vigilant. Until next time, I'm out.
