Counting the Cost

"What violence is to a dictatorship, propaganda is in a democracy." 
Noam Chomsky

We are at war, not a war with tanks, guns and bombs but one of certain devastating consequences nonetheless. It's a war of dis-information, mis-direction, and division, a war of lies and fear versus science and faith. A war so clever it has us fighting one another and throwing away the freedoms that our ancestors earned with blood, sweat, and tears as though they were poison. A war to distort truth and warp minds, to paint those who make the "great sacrifice" heroes of the new world being forged in tragedy and those who question the received wisdom and object to the destruction of their rights as selfish monsters. They have stolen the world and it's going to cost us dearly to get it back. The longer we wait the more it's going to cost us.
