Ask Thomas Jefferson:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

It shouldn't but it does. Ask this......What is Freedom? Is freedom of thought the last frontier where freedom could be granted? Take it one step farther.......If any outside agency, government dept or organization was able to covertly control freedom of thought , does anyone with any mind think for one minute that they wouldn't use it? What is left after its gone?
The movers and shakers of the word only tell us , you and me , to search for freedom. But then its not their blood that ends up soaking the ground.

At what cost? Who elected us to make these kind of decisions for people like the Iraqis? "Hey it's too bad your kids got blown up by a car bomb and a couple hundred thousand of your population are dead now and there's 1/2 dozen different wars ongoing in your country, and you live in poverty with no working electricity, but at least you're FREE!!"

In this world there are those that give and those that take,those that love and that hate.The choice is our God given right. So long as there is evil we must strive for righteosness.

Nope.
There aren't any black and whites like that.
Sometimes defintitely. Other times, I'm sure it can be avoided.
Isn't that what freedom's about? The freedom to choose?

One only has freedom if one is rich. Must have money other wise freedom is worthless.
