Freedom

[thecasualcritic]

Driving and the most amazing thing came over me. I was contemplating what I want to do with my life and I got to thinking about people who do not have the choice to choose. We live in a fucking amazing country. Not matter how you spin it. At the end of the day America is the only place to live. Freedom is amazing.

Freedom?

Does the PATRIOT act ring a bell? How do you feel about all the cameras at school, the mall, intersections? Mind the government checking out what you read, where you have been, who you associate with? There is a LOT of scary stuff going on in our country right now and we have far less freedom than you imagine.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin.

Did you know you are even registered with the government in case of a draft? Due to the No Child Left Behind law schools have to turn over the names of the students to recruiters unless the student/parent opts-out. Ship anything FedEx? They give thier shipping information to the government.

Freedom is nice. Wish we had what we used to have.

OK. This is not a place for debate so please don't respond to this. But you have to look at a bigger picture. I can be what i want to be. It might bother me and i might stand up bacause of the "patriot act", but the government is not putting me anywhere. I can be and do what i want within reason. Other nations do not give you that. That was all i was saying. And because you have the views that you do and you can scream them in the prsesident's face makes this america. It is subject to change. So let your voice be heard but your word fall on ears that have already heard it here.
