We do have a choice in being victimized by hoaxes: we can ask ourselves not only "Am I better off today than I was four years ago?" but also, "Am I better off today than I was 11 years ago?" -- and if not, why not? Once abdicated, economic and civil liberties can be reclaimed, but it takes more than one vote: it takes eternal vigilance, every day.
