We are tiptoeing around a fact noone wants to talk about. We have raised several generations of people who, to be blunt, don't want to be free. Why? Because freedom is hard. It means taking responsibility. It means dealing with the consequences of your inaction. It means you have a choice. But most important, it means you can royally fuck up, and you have to deal with it yourself. No one is gonna come save you except yourself. That is freedom. We have raised several generations of people who don't give crap about being free as long as they have Daddy Fed for security and free stuff. So what if he rules your life? You don't have to worry about messing up anymore.
