Freedom

[SkyDekker 1,465]

How free are you really when you need to be in possession of a tool to ensure freedom?

Do you mean like a key to open a locked door or something?

Freedom is not free. In fact history has shown again and again that freedom is very costly,but still far better than tyranny,unless of course you are a would be tyrant.

Significantly freer than being denied the ability to be in possession of a tool to ensure freedom. Freedom is not about freedom from each other. Freedom is about freedom from government intervention. The first amendment doesn’t mean that I can’t tell a person to shut the fuck up. It means the government can’t. It doesn’t mean a greenie cannot censor my comment on here but that the government cannot.

Is it freedom where a forum moderator is needed to keep people civilized. Yes, it is. Because in a society that is not free, the government will make sure that job is unnecessary.

No. You have to use Channel Lock pliers.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Hey -- a big pair of channel lock pliers, a big screwdriver, and wire ties (they look more professional than duct tape) are the essential keystones in any mechanic's toolbox

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I think the bigger problem is enduring freedom. Have to be prepared to take alot of bad with the good.

you're being silly - clearly the point is that only when the government is in charge of protecting us from government will someone be truly free......



it's all so clear now - as kids, we should all have asked the bullies to be the ones to protect us from bullying.......

I can't remember the name of the AZ artist who wss a friend of Georgia Okeef who said she ended thinking a long time ago and since she doesn't think she is free. Now deseased her art sells in the hundreds of thousands. She hadn't read a paper or watched TV for 40 years so her mind was free and uncluttered. I saw her speak in video and she told the interviewer why clutter the mind. So if my mind is free I'm I truely free eventhough I might not be free. I could sit here and be any where I've been before as I have a memory. What is freedom?

Not if you use the very cool gorilla duct tape.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
