An Exercise in Freedom...
By deciding to continue reading, you have just demonstrated a key American Freedom -- CHOICE.
Should you choose to NOT explore this blog and take a nap, watch TV, or go for a walk instead, THAT'S cool too.
While rights like Freedom of Speech (Writing on your Blog!) and Freedom of the Press (Publishing a Blog!) get all the attention in the Constitution, the smaller liberties you can enjoy every day in America are no less important, or worthy of celebration.
Your right to go bike riding on the weekend, listen to Classical Music (or Rap, even!), read a good book, shop where you want and listen to any Liberal, or Conservative, talk radio show you please, can be just as fullfilling as your right to vote for the President of the United States of America.
Maybe even more so because you enjoy these freedoms personally and often.
So take a moment to celebrate all the little liberties you enjoy in America.
Or, FORGET all this and choose to take them for granted -- it's a free country.
FREEDOM.
Appreciate it.
Cherish it.
Protect it.
Or LOSE IT!
This entry was inspired by a poster I saw a few years ago, in Orange County, that was part of a "Campaign for Freedom" by The Ad Council and Explore Freedom.
