Freedom is doing as you’re told

I have a sneaking suspicion from time to time that I am becoming complacent. I fear that tiny fissures are forming in the cynicism shrouding me that once was hard as adamant. I catch myself freely accepting statements that once I would have scrutinised deeply and intermittently I neglect to take a news story with a pinch of salt. I am softening.

Then I read articles like this one and realise I’ve no need to fear. The world is as terrible and duplicitous as I fear.
