Don't take everything they force down your throat...

[Gert van Santen]

I'm not really a political person, but recently I listen to a lot 
of radio shows on, let us say, "interesting subjects".

Just read a good thing, perhaps also concerning the discussion on 
topics like oil prices and such:

"Adults need to recapture the childlike joy and power of saying 
'no.' The words most feared by those in authority are 'I won't.' 
Individuals with the habit of obedience may need to start by 
saying 'no' on small matters like refusing to fill in racial 
information on application forms. They may be shocked by how 
difficult it is to say 'I won't' even to petty demands. But the 
difficulty is a sign of how important it is. Only when a person 
is able to say 'no' can he say 'yes' and have the word mean more 
that the obedient response of a servant. 'Yes' is properly the 
affirmation of a free man."
