"What are your thoughts? Have you lost any freedom lately?"

I have yet to notice any loss; I just bought another assault rifle to add to my collection. Nobody has stopped me on the hyway though around here the cops are giving people a hard time about seatbelts. Say, ya think thats a "loss of freedom" cause "the man" is taking my freedom of choice away??

Now that I think about, it's an outrage that cops are simply stooges for the insurance companies. Damn Democratic party gov'ners are in bed with the insurance companies!!

What are your thoughts? Have you lost any freedom lately?

Nope.

I speak my mind openly. I write what I please. I hike. I boat. I fish. I worship where I choose. I travel where I want. I choose my companions. I am free as a bird.

I believe it is even more important to look at what I don't have.

I don't have to worry about my family being slaughtered by government applications of nerve or mustard gas. I don't fear the single women in my family being buried up to their necks and stoned to death for casual encounters with men. I don't have to worry about my friends having their tongues cut out because they say something offensive. I don't have to worry about getting my head chopped off because I am not Muslim. And I don't have to worry about Democrats being systematically assassinated for opposing our current government.
