Freedom


Hello Friends;

  We've all heard the bills before congress speaking on the ways our government of the free seeks to censor our ability to access information.  Irony, yep.

  The thing that hits one square in the head is that we have two requirements for a solid free society: 
  1. Speak your piece.   Say what you feel needs to be said, and accept the fact that others may not quite agree with you. 
  2. Allow others to be themselves.  I lead my life, you lead yours.  The way you lead your life has nothing to do with mine.  We are a conglomeration of separate people all living with the hope of life, liberty, and happiness.
So, tell me, why are we going in the very opposite direction of these two basic principles?  Why are our words being stifled?  Why are our we repeatedly trying to get others to live according to our preconceived notions of what is proper?

What is our land to become?

Hi Scottie;

I thought long and hard on this and found only one good answer, it is this: Hugs and love. Everything else is unthinkable.
