Spirit of Freedom - 2014 Style

     A couple hundred plus years after the revolution, where's that spirit of freedom? Maybe, we need to legislate it back into our society? How can government do that when "We The People" created it in the first place! So what's this spirit anyways? Do we get it at birth? Is it taught to us somewhere?
     What's the difference between being an American, Canadian, Russian, or Chinese? Ah, I get it!
It must depends on your place of birth! No, maybe your passport? No, definitely depends on your parents!
     Let's compare citizenship to being a Red Sox player. Being a fan of the team and getting all jack up when there winning doesn't make YOU a Red Sox player. You actually have to make the grade and have the right attitude, So what's so different about the American attitude?
     Here's some American attitude! Leave me alone! Don't tell me what to do or how to live,who to marry, what I can do with my OWN body. Americans have a constitution that has been used to validate everyone of our self evident rights!
     This may be the American attitude of 2014 but I don't see spirit of freedom! At least not the spirit that put a man on the moon or the spirit of courage of the soldier on countless battlefields willing to confront an enemy wanting to shoot them in the face.
   Beware of my next posting! It could get very personal!
