How free are you? Think about the last time you had to rethink a reasonable decision because of a particular law - a law that protects no one from a victimless crime. Think about the last time you had to forgo happiness because of the judgment of others; and perhaps that judgment was based on a social perception perpetuated by the media or those in power - people whom youve never even met. If any moral act is hindered by a third party, that is not freedom - and with that said, truly think to yourself about what is a moral act. A moral act can be one in which you bring happiness to yourself without damaging anothers emotional or physical wellbeing - and with that said, to what extent? One defined by law? One defined by a third party who has never lived in your shoes? Or one defined by yourself and those immediately around you? Think about the last time you had to forgo personal protection and be at the mercy of those who do not respect themselves or others. Think about the last time you had to bite your tongue and speak with tact or act politically. Freedom isnt just being able to carry a firearm, vote, or participate in a rally. Freedom is the pursuit of happiness without the force of judgment from others. It is being responsible and accountable for your own actions, and not being held down by ridiculous laws and social constraint. Freedom is being RESPONSIBLE for your OWN actions - freedom does not entail the powers that be imposing laws on you in order to retrain you and drive you like cattle. Freedom is the open range. Freedom is the pursuit of happiness. What do you define as freedom? How free are you?
