i prayed to god, but the only one listening was the NSA. neither equal nor free. merely prey. a morsel wolfed down by the State. while the donkeys bray and elephants bluster, the wolves of Wall Street feast. and we are their main course, mortal morsels on a chessboard of happenstance. survival? fat chance! an American Dream, robbed right beneath our feet. the penalty for refusing to acquiesce is dire indeed. you could very well lose everyone you love and all you cherish. or you can choose to refuse to play their game. be the change you wish to see. it's clear to all who won't be blinded by borders: we're what's for dinner. if you don't like the way the table is set, flip it the **** over.
