American Freedom
Please take a moment, if you are religious or not, to read this story. I think you will find that we are in a crisis situation in this country, and I don't even mean the crises that are on the news every night.
An excerpt:
Was this the United States? Where freedom reigns?
The whole family was under constant stress. Police trying to get search warrants to the property by having ex-employees file false statements. Other cops trying to hire ex-cons to beat me up. The whole town knows of it! The Sheriff trying to have my bond pulled by the bail bondsman when there was no legal way to do it. My kids have been out of school since November. Principal's son saying should he get a gun when he sees my daughter and my son. DA has yet to reply to our concerns. The Department of Human Services comes to my place saying they received a complaint that I starve my kids. It was even obvious to them the charge was bogus.
We have become very good at using back roads. The police follow us around. Traffic tickets that when challenged were dropped in court. Not to mention the stares and whispers, the betrayal from employees, one of my healthy dogs dying. Brush fires starting up upwind.
An FBI agent even said, "You aren't kidding". When it was obvious someone followed us and was watching our meeting out in the middle of nowhere. I was told about a few things. All I can say is that some of the crooks out here now charged with crimes wore badges and guns! But he could not help my family and me. Not without witnesses willing to come forward. One scared witness left the state. The last words she spoke to me were, Chuck I don't want to end up dead in a ditch!
Just what you would expect life to be like out here in the Bible belt!
*edit*
I'm going to update my Living Will with this:
If I am in a medical facility/hospital that is supported by a religious denomination I must be moved to an alternative secular facility immediately, regardless of my condition.
It must be made clear to all medical staff dealing with me that I do not believe in a god, therefore I do not believe in miracles or "acts of god."
It must also be made clear to all medical staff that my non-beliefs, as they affect my treatment, supersede their beliefs, therefore,
they may not impinge their beliefs on their choice of treatment for me.
