Freedom, I won't!

 The strongest words are yes and no.  If one has the convictions to say no, one has to mean it.   If one says yes they must accept what that leads to.

So we have this thing called freedom.  Its supposedly assured, not granted by law that the government cannot restrict it without very good reasons.  That freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility.  You permit or cause something to happen your responsible.  

If freedom exists by sufferance of your community neighbors then its not freedom guaranteed.  When the law is reduced to a promise its is not law.  When laws exist as threat to freedoms its not law, its oppression.

An aside the Constitution is a complex document but its written in clear english.  It does little to guarantee anything.   It does clearly prohibit what the government can do and limits the conditions that it may.  That is rooted in our history and the abuses of  our historic former overlord King George III.  

Rule by the minority is evil.

“There is a difference between exercising religious beliefs and imposing them on others. Our Constitution fiercely protects the former and expressly prohibits the latter.”
― Joseph Kennedy III

When a group has enough power to force their beliefs over law or unwritten and unspecified freedoms are suspended the Constitution  becomes an empty promise.

In any case people will die.  Those who caused it or permitted it will deny they had any part, they have no honor as they will claim their are not responsible.

Keep you head down and powder dry..


Eck!
