Free To Be...


"They're going to take away our freedom,"

says the guy who spends ten hours a day at a job he dislikes bookended by two awful one-hour commutes.

"They're going to take away our freedom,"

says the gal who gave up a career in medicine to marry her college sweetheart and have two kids by the age of twenty-six.

"They're going to take away our freedom,"

says the morbidly obese guy who avoids going upstairs these days because stairs.

"They're going to take away our freedom,"

says the guy who spends three hours each evening arguing online about gun rights.


You keep going on about freedom when all you've ever done is voluntarily give yours away.

    'Tis the season, of people circling the parking lot for over 10 minutes in an effort to get a spot close to the entrance.

    Freedom... it's a huge argument here these days. Rights, freedom and all it seems like is a giant shouting match between everyone that is so loud that no one can hear what is being said.
