RE: Working For Government Like Being In Cult Of Heroin Addicts

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help". Ronald Reagan

Famous words, for sure, although perhaps not repeated as often as they should be.

I held a full time federal job at one time, and I have worked for several other government agencies. I no longer do, for several reasons, and mostly because - I quit. I sleep much better at night.

One of the reasons I quit is because I was coerced to do some things under the color of law that I was not comfortable with, but I did them, because I wanted to keep my job, and I thought that if I did it would further my career.

Shame On Me!

But I was young, and as the saying goes, I wish that I had known then, what I know (so very well) now. I would not have done what I done...even if it was, at the time, legal.

But it was not just, nor fair, or morally right, and I know that now.

I would never presume to tell you, or anyone else, what they should do. But the fact that you are taking a new look at things is hopeful, and inspiring, and I salute you for the effort.

I have no doubt that the way forward will become even clearer over time.

Usually you just hear the second part, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help," with no mention of the terror those words inspire.

One of the reasons I quit is because I was coerced to do some things under the color of law that I was not comfortable with, but I did them, because I wanted to keep my job, and I thought that if I did it would further my career.

Thankfully I don't feel like I am being coerced into doing specific deeds which directly harm others. If that were the case I probably would make a more drastic change more quickly. It's more of a realization that I am part of the problem that I often complain about, which is a government that has grown way too big and is threatening freedom more and more as it grows progressively toward communism.

Thank you. When the time is right and the path is clear everything will fall together.

Yes, for me freedom will include more time and energy to devote to my passion for the outdoors! Now that is a happy thought!
