Free Thoughts
by Sponge
Thoughts about this government being a failure loom in our minds. Yet, we do nothing to change it. Thoughts of a better paradise are exiled to our mind never able to escape its clutches due to some power we have little control over. One person speaking out is surely a lost cause in its own. Take the same argument and back it by the voice of the many, the people that run this country, you and I, someone will hear it. Today we fight for things that were given to us. We fight for our freedom of speech. Today we fight things like censorship, where the government tells you who can watch something, by creating things like NC17 and rated R movies. Where does the government tell you what your kids can and cant watch? The government is best which governs least was said by Henry David Thoreau and I believe that I knew what he was talking about when he made such a statement. When the government controls what can and cant be done you are no longer free. Our government should be in charge of organizing arms to defend our freedom, they should be in charge of letting things run their course without anyone intervening. How could you possibly find out who is with you or against you if you dont speak up? When you stay quiet it is just as good as the next guy who follows blindly into what these politicians believe is good for the country. These politicians got where they are because they know the truth. The truth is you follow their every move whether you believe it or not. Where is the freedom in that? You have to choose between 2 different people, you dont give a shit about, every 4 years. Only choosing the least worst of the 2 options you dont realize you have a much better option. That option is freedom. Freedom from the government shaped nation. Freedom from corrupt politicians that would sell their mom to make a few dollars. Freedom from this fake freedom you put up with. If everyone where to work toward a better place and treat everyone as their neighbor the world would be a better place. Dont conform to your government, be your self. Strive on individuality and freedom of speech. Respect others opinions even if that opinion is just to bring you down. Because when you say something should not be said or try and ban something, you should be SHOT. Shot for wanting to express your ideas and quiet anothers. FREE. THINK FREE.
