Im a former marine and ex police officer, so I tried my absolute best to push away those thoughts of what I was doing was wrong. The first time I was told I was a slave and that the government was stealing from me, I was so repulsed by that statement that it actually made me angry. But then I sat and thought about it. Then thought about it some more. And then some more. I finally came to the realization that I was being taken advantage of, I was being lied to, I was being used as a tool of oppression, I was being stolen from and I was a slave to government. It was a PAINFUL realization because I was what most people would call a super patriot, hell, I even got goose bumps when I heard the national anthem. Its hard to hear that everything you have known and loved isnt what you think it is. Believe me, I know this better than most. I had a lot of sleepless nights, a lot of days spent in deep contemplation about the things I had done to my fellow man, which they didnt deserve. I was a tyrant, no different from those which I have railed against on so many occasions. The only difference is that they had more power than I did. I had to come to the sick realization that I might have been another of those madmen that everyone talks about under their breath, if I had only acquired more power. I can only take solace in the fact that I never killed anyone and that now I will pay for that in the prison of my mind every day, for the rest of my life. So for me, these arent just words or ideas Im expressing, this is my penance for all of the things I have done in the name of the state, which were evil. If only had I had come to this realization sooner... ~Scott Robart
