Good read - passed that along to a few folks that will enjoy it and understand it.
There are many out there that would not comprehend it's contents and meaning, sorry to say!

It is a bit "heady" and takes a little concentration to read and understand, but it's some scary stuff, and sorry to say, it ain't fiction.

But it’s harder to maintain the "Live free or die!" spirit when you’re facing not an immediate crisis but just a slow, remorseless, incremental, unceasing ratchet effect.

"I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it."

From marriage/family life, to no score soccer, to the entitlement mentality, we are slowly falling apart. People won't tough it out when it's easier to say you were inconvenienced or offended.
