Hi Barry - I so appreciate your comments and this posting offers a profound and wise picture of possibilities each of us can work with. You say "if you can resist the pressure..... reclaim that lost freedom" - I believe that sentence summarizes so much. We can resist and once we learn to think for ourselves again, it is automatic. You have shown 4 simple steps anyone can use to move towards that. They guide each to move slowly towards that freedom. As we work with ourselves we will once again become a relentless force in this world of ours.

Barry I repeat, we all are stronger people through the words you pass on. It is easy to once again see the day we all will proclaim

"Look out world - We the People - are back!"
