In the past year or two, we in the liberty movement seem to have made a lot of progress in getting across the ideas of freedom and peace to a larger group of people. Live and Let Live is not totally dead yet.
Ron Paul’s 2012 Presidential campaign and his subsequent college campus appearances have very much reached the younger people.
Nevertheless, it seems like an exercise in futility to try to get the people to understand that the one main impediment to their freedom, prosperity and their future is the State.
The militarized NFL and the way football fans act at games, and the Watertown sheeple’s approval of the cops’ unconstitutional door-to-door searches to find one lone teenage terrorist suspect, are not good signs.
Sadly, it seems as though most people just feel comfortable deferring responsibility for their lives to the State. They don’t seem to mind putting the agents of the State on a pedestal, no matter how corrupt, no matter how criminally such government employees behave.
Until the crimes are so egregious and continually exposed, then the people wake up and start to make a fuss. (e.g. the NSA spy scandal, ObamaCare, etc.)

Its NOT so much "deferring responsibility to the State" as it is not wanting to die. When hundreds of police show up with armored vehicles and automatic weapons and an openly visible readiness to kill anyone and anything that won't "comply", its hard to be the one or two guys that open fire on the Gestapo. Boston strong? That's a joke. A military lockdown with innocent citizens marched out of their house (which is then searched, without a warrant!!) with hands in the air (or get beaten or shot) should have outraged every American. Instead, we now have a precedent.
