First I want to say that the NSA spying is still a emotional issue for some I will agree, but with me the reason why NSA Spying isn't as big of a deal is because I am Pagan. Not only am I Pagan, but I am Druid as well. People have no idea what it is like being part of a Clan or groove.
As a Modern day Pagan I have given up more rights then I had to because I believe in my spiritual path. First let me say the one thing I can give out is i am a Druid of the Light so all my dealing is with the path of Light. What this means is not only are my views Progressive in natural, but I follow a higher calling set by the Gods and Goddesses. I believe in peace, but if you threaten someone that doesn't mean I wont' stand up and defend my loved ones.
There are certain lines drawn even with Pagans that people do not cross. One of those lines though that we give up is some of our rights and freedoms because our path is one that helps the Groove, Coven, or clan. We are also being watched by members to make sure we aren't telling important secrets.
I am spied on by many. I am sure there are also those who see this trying to figure out who I am. Don't forget even though I am peaceful in my spiritual path I'm sure the Government is monitor my activity as well because I am part of meetups. You see not only do the people in my own leadership get to decide what I can and can not do Spirituality for my path of enlightenment the government also spies on us even more because they do not understand us.
Then there is the world around us. When I go into public I have to still watch my back due to people with different views because a lot will approach me thinking my soul is headed to damnation because of my Pagan ways. So then these other religious groups start to spy on me to try to make plans to convert me away from my heathen path just because I believe in the Gods and Goddesses of the Old Ways and want to revive them here in the USA.
Thankfully I live in a decent state called Colorado, but I have lived in other states that they still like to do things like assault those of different religion. My path is that of peace now the NSA collecting data on cell phones is something people are not used to. When you live a life as a Pagan you are used to the government spying on you. Yes we are aware that the government has always spied on peaceful religious groups. The Quakers were prime example back when Bush was in office.
If you feel NSA is doing something wrong and you do want to change it then start doing something. Start planning group meetings in all 50 states. Meetup is great for those without means to get like minded people together. Call it Those who want to change NSA. Once enough groups start to get together use websites to stream video. That is what occupy did. Otherwise NSA is going to just stay one big drama that nothing happens.
I'm fine with progressive wanting to stand up for ideas, but I am not fine with those who just say they are angry at people. So NSA is back in the news. Then lets make change we do not need to wait for our leaders in Washington to start the change if you believe that way then you do not understand what it is like to create change from the ground up.
In colorado Springs there are lots of parks and coffee places. If you wish to start change then lets do it. I'm willing to get progressives started because I do not need a leader to force me to do it. While I am be under certain rules as a Druid for Spiritual Path guess what that doesn't mean I am under those rules for gathering people together. You want to see true power then lets do it lets start to make true change that grows 50 states. No more just talking about the drama when the news breaks with NSA LETS DO this.
There's a park we can meet up at the library in colorado springs for those who are in the springs. Or we can meet at one of the coffee houses lets start picking places and get a movement together. I'll show you the true power of how Pagans create change. Who wants to start a political movement. Lets make change happen.
