    freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
     
  2. Free from what? There are always constraints. You can't even be free from being free...there might come a time when you want the constraints. Freedom is not being subjected to the worst possible reality and that's it.

    "freedom it ain't much if it ain't free".

    the problem we're having in american culture today,
    is people really not paying enough attention,
    or even caring very much, to honestly and really,
    avoid hurting others.

    and THAT of course, is how freedom is lost,
    and tyranny takes its place;

    because hurting others, in however small,
    or you might think its an unimportant way,
    that is what robs each other of the freedoms,
    we would otherwise have.

    no form of government, can guarantee nor restore,
    the freedom we rob from each other.

    only paying enough attention to stop doing so,
    can do that.

    this is the big mistake people make about it.
    not having to worry about anything is one thing, that's fine,

    but not caring about the freedoms we rob each other of,
    to think our own thoughts, by demanding each other's attention,
    this is how freedoms are lost, not created.

    this is how tyrannies are able to rise in their place.
    that's why we have a mafia don and would be dictator in the oval office today.

    Or no active conscience at all.
