Freedom of speech
Freedom! Let’s talk about freedom and whether we have lost sight of this valuable target in our efforts to be safe, fed and housed. Are we trading our essential freedoms for false securities?
Bring thoughts, bring posters, bring signs and join us in this most important celebration. Sure, we give Thanks in the fall, and we celebrate the changing of the four seasons, but this celebration of freedom must come first in our hearts, just as freedom must come before peace, and peace must come before justice. Though the mob calls for justice first (no peace without justice), they do so at risk of their political souls (think of the French revolution, how’s that working for ya?).
So, let’s get warmed up for a rousing debate: Can we have peace or justice without freedom? And what freedom(s) do we mean?
