There's Nothing to Fear...

There's a lot of things that scare me, the little bunny foo foo song being one of them, and sometimes the dark. But it's the things that I don't know that scare me the most.
Some people quote the saying "what people don't know won't hurt them", but I think the lack of knowledge would be most detrimental. When we have the right information we can make the right decisions.

I saw V for Vendetta on Saturday, fantastic movie, and scared the living crap out of me. And, it wasn't just the Guy Fawkes mask or the creepy voice behind it, it was the fact that through its exploration of government and media relations it uncovered a 'truth' that is evident across the world.

I don't want to ruin the movie for you, so I won't go into detail. But, if you're the type of person who sits down to watch the 6 or 11 o'clock news, and soaks it up to discuss the horrors the next day around the water cooler then you need to see this movie. If you love CNN, see this movie... If you think that Democracy has the interests of its people close to its heart, SEE THIS MOVIE.

I hate the news, I never watch it, I read headlines from time to time, but for the most part I choose not to because I don't trust it. I refuse to be made to live in fear of a shooting at Jane and Finch, a pitbull bite in the park, or even a terrorist attack.

"People shouldn't fear their government, the government should fear its people," unfortunately if the people think that everythings honkeydorey then there's nothing to fear but fear itself.
