'Be your own Huxley!' OK. or just be your own self even..
that being what my 89 year acquaintance told me after declining my invite to sit with me and share his reminiscences of UC Berkeley in 1961 or 1962 on California Times ... the early 60's when Aldous Huxley was visiting 'Professor of Nothing in Particular.'
as Mark Twain tried to tell us and tell me... that you can blame the tyrants for taking over but if citizens did their job and properly gave tyrants hell or even recognized it's not even about a big mean tyrant but it's all those little ways that your freedoms are chipped away, dissolved away, voted away... and that it certainly seems an impossible job to be that vigilant.. you need a lot of people with you.
But ultimately it's up to you alone.
