Reply #86: The history of our grand experiment...

[Fearless]

is riddled with instances such as this and to this point it has withstood.

Every day now we move further into uncharted waters as in this age of Internet, television, etc. we are more connected than ever before and the flow of information and misinformation is greater still than EVER before. We stand on an ever shrinking precipice juggling the balancing act between freedom and protection and the struggle between government and the individual. Could we be on the verge of actions not seen since the Revolution or on par with the difficulties of the Civil War, a country divided upon itself? It's not for us to say, but to live this next year and a half in constant vigilance for indicators such as the aforementioned Executive Order and to bring them into the public sphere. This is our duty. This is the only way we can prevent disaster. And, it must be done now. Knowledge is power. But, too, forethought is vital.
