Join the New Politics: An Open Letter About Freedom From Fear

2 Comments

Don Don

Freedom from a fear that you say is human nature is not only impossible but it is psychopathic to believe it is caused by those reasons you give.

I don't believe you believe what you have written here. I think you are peddling feel good communism under the guise of being a peace loving moderate.

Fear is one of man's most inherent aspects and, at a low level, contributes to EVERY decision made. To propose that type of change in the human psyche is what I grew up being warned about. It is all so much, uhmmmm, B.S.

Nice to contemplate, though. If that's what you want to do, contemplate. But to live and feel life, you need a healthy, inherent fear of anything that is new or original. Otherwise, Ben Franklin would have been toast via a kite string.

Until we meet again, Comrade.
