To those who cherish freedom:
It seems your desire for freedom is selective.
What about freedom from fear? Freedom from being shot? Freedom from losing your possessions through theft? You are not free. You are held to ransom by the threat of violence, you are imprisoned by the past, you are chained to paying for home insurance, and medical insurance.
Debt is the slavery of the West, and fear is a chain of greater strength than iron.
To gain freedoms for society at all, you have to restrict an individuals freedom.
That is what LAW is. Restrictions on an individuals behaviour so society can live with some freedom from fear.
I see chants of freedom, which are in reality cries for imprisonment.
Free yourselves. Ban the gun. Allow cameras on highways and in plazas. Restrict the freedoms of those who would harm so those who are innocent may live freely.
