Is there such a thing as unfettered freedom?
Do you understand the question?
I offer you the answer no.
Just like the island I live on, it is getting smaller from natural erosion. The rain, winds, and water asult her, it's part of what they do.... Man however can accelerate it by his actions too. If I cut into the earth, remove trees for a better view, etc, I have hastened the effects of erosion from the islands inception. As we try and fit more people and homes on her, we must make consession and adjustments to the betterment of all. We can never turn back the hands of time, or live in the past. Some old timers here view this as an invasion and a bad thing, harboring ill will as a constant companion.... Tell me, how does that better their lot?
It's a stretch, but I think we can extend this parable to our democracy.... And I find it is a natural thing, not sinister.... However, our task is to elect good stewards of freedom who have wisdom in the balance, for all, not a select group.
