Three Letter Acronyms (TLA)

Wednesday, July 09, 2003

Today's TLA of the day is SSF

Scrutinize, Suspect, Fictionalize

My inspiration today came from the fact that our company gave out mugs which read Security, Safety, Freedom. Maybe I am just a paranoid little peon in this company, but I just think people should be leary of these words. If one analyzes these 3 words it implies an implicit algorithm for freedom. First comes security, then comes safety, then comes your freedom. Its a little scary. I don't know I thought the whole point of freedom is being free. I mean the definition of freedom is "The condition of being free of restraints." Maybe I am over analyzing things, I mean these words are all for good publicity and propaganda for our current efforts on the war on terrorism. But propaganda has been used throughout human history to do evil things (look at what Hitler did with propaganda). Now more than ever is the time for people to scrutinize and suspect our government's fiction of certain "facts" displayed for the American people. In my humble opinion, America is still a country of the people, by the people, and for the people. And if the American people aren't more responsible about controling the people in control then there is a potential you might just lose your own Security, your own Safety, and your own personal Freedom.


Enjoy,
Jonathan
