During the time that Lenin, Stalin, Mao tse-tung, Hitler, and Pol Pot walked the earth, people lived in fear. Fear isn't something that happens in an instant; it's something that takes years to instill while nurturing it along the way. Why was it that the Jews allowed Hitler's solders to corral them like animals and to lie them down by the thousands in mass graves, just to shoot them in the back of the head when the number of Jews to soldiers was over a thousand to one? Why didn't they fight back? They would have undoubtedly been victorious in many instances. The reason was fear. Not a fear that Hitler had instilled in them, but a fear that had started with Lenin moving on to Stalin and finally aiding Hitler in his quest for supremacy. As a nation, we must not fear the government, but make sure that the government fears us and then look forward to liberty and justice for all.
