what is freedom,such a vague question.I could say the desert,or the mountains.Silence and the book
of my choice.A candid conversation with a beloved friend.
Or freedom from oppressing forces,spiritual freedom.
Ive lived with freedom for so long I feel as if
my observations fall oh so short.
Once while in Kortrijk Belgium I met a cuban,nice fella.Upon learning my nationality(American)he
spent the rest of the night(drinking at the bar)trying to convince me that he was not my enemy
that in fact he had defected and we could be friends.
I dont think he could quite grasp the fact that I never was his enemy or never wanted to be.
Though I told him repeatedly,somewhere along the way someone convinced him of what
Americans are.It left me with a sadness which i could never explain.
All thats left for me to say on the subject is,he was damn glad
to be as far from cuba as he could get.

Freedom, is the ability to chase my dreams, keep my money, guns, and possessions, as well as my way of life. To be free of tyranny and oppressive taxes!
Opposite of this administration!

HOW SO...? Can't have your dreams...? Etc...? WHAT ARE your dreams, etc...?
Rebel, I have a lot of dreams. One is to retire early and with enough money to do what I want. How can I achieve that with all the taxes (always going up) and all the new regulation squashing the economy? How about raising my son with American values......oops can't do that the schools are anti-american.

STILL, want to know about your "dreams"; ppl DO retire, early. Get a CPA to help you... get a liscensed, ethical "money broker"/financial advisor to help you invest (even a LITTLE bit) WISELY.

When I read the title of this post, I thought it was a no brainer to answer. As I sit here, I realize there is a lot more to this.
I guess the easiest way for me to describe freedom, being able to live my life without other people's beliefs being forced down my throat.
I know politics are not to be discussed on this forum, but to me, it's politics that are ruining this country. It is not the fault of one party or one person. It starts at local levels, and goes all the way to the top. I feel that all professional politicians don't care about the city, state or country, they're more concerned about padding their own pockets. Why would someone spend over a billion dollars to run for a public office, that only pays 300K???

I'll step off my soap box before my blood pressure gets too high'

Rebel, I already invest......wisely and substantially. My dreams as I stated earlier plus others. I want to be left alone to live my life my way. My dreams are the same as most Americans : nice house, comfortable life, early retirement, watch my son succeed and still many others. Just what are your dreams? I hope the politicians can leave me alone to attain my dreams. Not right others think they have the right to dictate to me how to live....

Thats why i started this thread bsloan,so we could examine the different points of view.
most of us in America just want to be left alone.
2nd amendment,rights of miners,public land use,are all connected and are under
attack by the same groups,theres a fly in the ointment and we need to get it out.
