CONVENIENCE OR LIBERTY?
Which is a higher priority: freedom or convenience?
If asked, most people would probably say “freedom”, while in reality valuing convenience more.
That’s because the government has made it extremely convenient for people to waive their rights.
Therefore, preserving your rights will necessarily
be less convenient than waiving them. So if you are
driven by ease and convenience, then you will not
find sufficient value in claiming your freedom, since
it will make your life somewhat (but not much) less
convenient.
For example, frequently, people tell me they don’t
want to deal with difficulties in getting a job without a social security number, or they complain that
securing their liberties and property rights takes
too much time, or is too hard, or in some way
makes their lives more difficult. In other words,
these people have set their respective priorities:
convenience before liberty.
I believe that the reasons people give for not securing their rights to life, liberty and property are
always reflections of each individual’s order of
priorities.
ECONOMY OR QUALITY?
Which is a higher priority: economy or quality?
The United States government has established itself
as a leader in convenience technologies, including
biochip and surveillance development, cheap and
fast-but-un-nutritious food services, low quality
production of goods, etc. The United States has become a premiere provider of cheap and low quality
products and services, because offering high quality
requires spending more time and money on better
labor and genuine customer service, and the United
States government has set its priorities: economy
before quality.
MARKETING IMMORALITY
This upside-down value system is promoted and
maintained through extensive propagandizing.
For example, if you really pay attention to the messages put out by commercial advertising, you will
discover that more and more, TV ads are sending
messages that morality is boring and immorality
and irreverence are cool. Among them:
A television advertisement for 7-11 Stores
tells the viewer to “embrace the dark side”. The “dark
side” is supposed to represent ultimate evil! This is
not a joke. Some people are programmed by this type
of message.
Sprite tells you to “obey your thirst”, meaning do whatever you feel like doing, regardless of the
potential consequences.
Children are told to lie to their parents in
order to get them to go to McDonalds.
One cellular company’s advertisement includes a father trying to spend time with his wife and
daughters, each of whom is only concerned with the
