The financial world we live in is just as wild, if not more, than the mountains and woods we walk through. We are told that the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but we can feel that something is wrong. My unique financial background and survival passion make Financial Survivalist and excellent place to learn and share.

"Nobody Should be Forced To Do Things They Don't Want To Do"

Saturday

While on our date last night, my wife convinced me to watch Ella Enchanted. I know. I know. It's a chick flick. Have you ever been "Notebooked?" It's a 'One Tree Hill' Reference. I know. She convinced me to watch that too. When you love her, you can only object so much.

In the movie Ella Enchanted, Ella is given a curse to obey everything she is told. No matter who tells her, when she is told to do something she must do it. In the story, Ogres and Giants are forced to live in exile. Their lands taken by the king. Elves are only allowed to sing and dance as an occupation.

I know it's a fairy tale, but that's not the point. The point is that "nobody should be forced to do things they don't want to do." Of coarse, we as Americans don't need to worry about being forced to do something we don't want to do. Or do we?

The current administration is requiring certain restaurants to take french fries off the menu, salt to be removed from the table, and schools to replace lunches provided by parents because the "proper" protein is not provided. The government is definitely not the person or thing that should require another person or thing to do something that they or it do not want to do.

There is a specific and definitive evil working against the freedom of man. Call it what you will. I call it ignorance. A financial survivalist is always expanding his or her reserve of knowledge. Ignorance is a universal desease that we must continually strive to cure. We are on the path that will require others to act against their will. We much stop it before it progresses beyond our control, which I fear it already has.
