How many times have you heard that “Freedom is not free”? Usually it is when the army is recruiting or you are paying taxes or campaign contributions..
You also heard that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance… that is sooo true!
It seems that we are too eager to give up our freedoms. Because we are too quick to give up our responsibilities. It is not the government that is responsible to take care of the sick, the homeless, to ensure that everyone has education. It is the responsibility of each individual that feels these things that happen. And if we can not make this happen, then it is our job to convince, not force through legislation, to help. Or we have to figure some way to get the ability to do the help we think should happen.
