turn your eyes into the upheaval the foundation of the world is hanging by a thread look . . . everyone is losing freedom’s light one by one country by country what is taking the lights’ place is the suffocating governmental interference in your life even here never thought it could happen here but the proof is before us and our vocal protests fall on uncaring ears of the government and the sheeple ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I think you will find that liberty for the individual is normally defined as liberty within the law. To give complete liberty to the individual without the restrictions placed by common laws would be pretty disastrous. Even today vast area’s of the African interior still gives complete liberty to the population. That doesn’t mean that the right of freedom is given to them by the good intensions of the rulers of their country, it’s because the governments have simply no interest in their welfare or lifestyle. So no laws exist, the population enjoy complete freedom, the good but unfortunately also the bad. Would you really want to live within a lawless society, because that is what complete liberty for the individual means? Having said that there are good laws and bad laws, plus those where the good points outweigh the bad. There are laws that benefit the whole of society and those that benefit a very small minority. |

As I read I found myself wondering what is freedom ? Always remember a guy from work pointing out you can do whatever you like but you must live with the consequences. Thought provoking read Jerry. Thanks Pete |

quote:That it is Jerry. It wasn't designed as an overnight sensation, it came unto the stage slowly, gradually whittling away in such a way as to practically go unnoticed. Each generation grows within their ever-enclosed spheres as we old ones wear out and fall to the wayside. Pull up a chair and we'll watch the Grand Finale Jerry. I like to chat it up with a man with a thought. Roll one for me. More feelings and fewer words please |

Yeah, you're spot on, Ari . . . I've watched this insane march across this once great nation with complete and total domination in mind. This next presidential election is probably the most important one in my lifetime. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
