I've been aware of the show for a few years but I hadn't given it much of a chance until recently.
My brother Njal told me about the show and would share anecdotes from the callers while he pursued his way in the path of liberty. Although I could see his point on a lot of issues, I really was the poster child of the apathetic generation that is now coming to face the consequences of the actions we've taken in the last few years. And it probably would have continued in this manner, half-heartedly agreeing while not really making any commitments to get involved.
However, more and more lately I've seen legislative bodies pass ludicrous laws that were beginning to impact my life directly. More and more I was being harassed by the bully majority of people who honestly believe that the mob rule of democracy will vindicate any bad judgment or decision. And more of the public "protectors" who use force to fill their cages and coffers. And I would share my annoyance with friends and acquaintances who I believed could see the same decay in our liberties. And again, I faced that shallow agreement that withered under even mild questioning.
Then, after many calm discussions with Njal involving arm gestures and creative euphemisms, he challenged me to get involved. So I started listening. And started to realize that there are others out there who aren't absently nodding. They are getting involved, talking, blogging, getting arrested. All to awaken this lazy nation that we lost the freedoms we honestly think still exist.
