Freedom

The party that purports to be about personal freedom and choices (school education, work, etc.) seems bound and determined to undermine the freedoms that most American have come to take for granted. What am I talking about? The slow erosion of freedom that started during a recent administrative coup. For longer than most can remember, the US has had great relations with our neighbors. Canadians and West Indians were free to travel with us to and fro without passports. Now we all need them. It is really a crackdown on Mexico and the unstoppable flow of workers across the lines. But we call it immigration reform. Everybody knows that the workers are here. They probably are not taking jobs from the segment of our population that has disdained those jobs anyway. We aren't really any different than other nations that have taken advantage of the poor workers from other places. I know that Swedes have hired help. So did my college roommates parents in the Bahamas. A Haitan woman if I recall correctly.

New York City wants to ban cameras and some other kinds of public gatherings. I think that it makes some economic sense. Charge people or at least keep track of who is doing what. Isn't that the real TRUTH. We want to monitor everyone and everything. That perhaps is the one truth that might set us all FREE again.
