RE: Liberty an unappreciated necessity
are you aware of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?
by the way...I disagree with your accessment of freedom.
Today's americans (in many ways ) are the most free people that have EVER existed.
For example..I'm free to drink a hot cup of coffee that took me about a minute to make (a pot) which stays HOT on my small hotplate beside me.
Up until a few years ago..NO ONE on the planet had that freedom..
there are countless other freedoms that I have NOW..that I did NOT have fifty years ago.
The freedom to call (at no extra cost) anyone in the contiguous USA (I recall roaming charges for cell phones...$5.00 a minute...NOT Free)
I have the freedom to record a movies...could NOT do that when I was young.
etc..etc...etc...
the list is almost endless.
Yes, I am.
I agree that we have many freedoms that were not even imaginable years ago. I am also aware of many liberties which are now "illegal", but didn't used to be.
I appreciate the liberty that is still "allowed", but that doesn't mean I don't grieve the liberty (and freedom) that I have lost due to the bullies of the State (and its followers).
I totally agree.
But if there is one thing that's evident from observing current events OR reading history.
"you can't fight city hall"
and win
or perhaps even live.
SO.
Invent newer, better freedoms.
many, many, many of them.
FASTER than the the various governments can outlaw them.
