You know … I get so tired of people sending me emails that are supposedly supporting our troops and trumpet how “freedom isn’t free.”
It’s not? Isn’t free the very definition of freedom? You know … it’s like … freedom … and everything?
Besides, I don’t see any connection between the wars we’re fighting over seas and freedom. That’s not protecting our freedom, it’s making new enemies and imposing force upon other nations. There’s nothing free about that.
Besides, we’re not very free in this nation anyway. After all, if we’re so “free” why do we jail more people than any other nation in the world … more than double the runner up, good old communist Russia. Seems like Russians are more free than us, if you go by that number.
Freedom is supposed to mean the ability to live your own life without having someone elses (or some government’s) will forced upon you, and yet our government has laws for every aspect of our lives … from what we can put or not put into our own bodies voluntarily … to where our pets can poop. It does not mean having an abundance of choice of things to purchase and pay for, which it what many people seem to think it means. I mean, for crying out loud, people don’t even seem to care that their basic rights are infringed upon every day in various ways, so long as they can go to the mall or shop on the internet.
Are we really free here in the USA?
Are we really free at all?
