Instead of begging for permission, we need to just exercise our liberty.

Stockholm syndrome:

Do not wish to exercise liberty against their captors (gvmnt, financial institutions)
Wish to beg for permission.

Forget about specific issues, (talking specifics could actually be counterproductive)....it's talking people out of this psychological prison that's the trick.

....that's the tricky part, when most people around them suffer the same disorder, and do nothing but reinforce the position that you're trying to get them away from.

Break the spell, the rest will follow.

Good post, matey.
