The only way to become one hundred percent free is to become a society of anarchist. Anarchy means no heiarchy or no authority. It has been that anarchist are violent criminals. On the contrary they believe in very peaceful coexistance with one another. they believe in taking care of one another and taking care of things without the government, religion, or any authority.\n\nSo my thaught is as long as we have a government we will not be a free nation.

Hey, agno -- here's a news flash for you, baby!  Shouldn't you be in class right now, learning to read and write? Geez, I don't know which is worse -- your stupidity or your illiteracy.  \n\nI'll tell you something for free -- I don't know a soul who gives a rat's ass who wants to stay in the stone age and who doesn't. My theory is -- you want to live in a mud hut and drink muddy water while your local tribal council chooses not to dig a new well, or build a school, then you feel free to stay right where you are.  Anyone who wants to get up and walk out of the dung heap and try for a little fresh air is welcome to do so too.\n\nYou wouldn't be squalling if your ass was stuck over there in the mud. \n\nDamn shame you live here and you can't even be bothered to take advantage of the opportunities laid before you -- like learning to write.  Damn, your comments are about the most discombobulated I've seen in days.\n\nMaybe you'd like a free ride over there. I'd wager someone out there would pay your ticket.  \n\nSo, why don't you get with the program.  Run along to school now, and leave the big talk to the grown-ups, okay?

"You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course."\n\n"We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion that the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. So they are going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning. Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer and they've had almost 30 years of it, shouldn't we expect government to almost read the score to us once in a while? Shouldn't they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help? The reduction in the need for public housing?"\n\n"A young man, 21 years of age, working at an average salary...his Social Security contribution would, in the open market, buy him an insurance policy that would guarantee $220 a month at age 65. The government promises $127. He could live it up until he is 31 and then take out a policy that would pay more than Social Security. Now, are we so lacking in business sense that we can't put this program on a sound basis so that people who do require those payments will find that they can get them when they are due...that the cupboard isn't bare?"\n\n"Not too long ago two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to." In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."\n\n"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."

1. Yes! But that'll probably never change\n\n2. I think the bigger problem lies in US companies moving overseas....I wish that would be addressed as much as this illegals crap has lately. \n\n3.*sigh* yes (as I pawn another ring to get gas money for the week)\n\n4. It's a problem, but not as big as the others.....just move away from the shore people...\n\n5. Ugh....yes, how many more years? 3? ****....\n\n6. A bit redundant....see answer to question one\n\n7. See above (although not nearly as badly)\n\n8. Nah, if you've got a mind of your own, you know what to believe and what not to.\n\n9. Please....no.\n\n10. Heck no...\n\n11. Yes....if the pres. doesn't have to follow the law, why do we? Bunch of bullsh!t if you ask me....\n\n12. No (within reason), I think a woman should have a right to do what she wants with her own body.....but those late term abortions....those have gotta go (shudder) unless the mothers life is in danger - and then -once again - it should be her choice.\n\n13. I don't see a problem with this....isn't that what church is for?\n\n14. Don't quite get this one...unemployment is a problem yes...(see answer to question #2)\n\n15. Should be available to ALL. Just because some poor childs parents brought them over here illegally, doesn't mean they should have to suffer for it.\n\n16. A-Ha! I didn't read ahead, my bad....I've alreaady answered this, so there ya go....\n\n17. Pure INSANITY....yes...\n\n18. Being blown WAY out of proportion, just ike the flu last year. Most people won't be affected by it, and if they do,it won't be any worse than the regular flu.\n\n19. sure, ok, yes I guess, lol\n\n20 No.

.  First of all our "forefathers did not "give us our freedoms"  they fought to ensure that we had that with which  we were rightfully   "endowed by our Creator".   Those freedoms that we commonly speak of like the freedom of the press, the freedom to worship, and the rights: to assemble, to free speech, to trial, etc are all part of that single concept of liberty.  I would not give up one of those individual freedoms or rights because to do so would be to diminish liberty...and liberty is our God given right.  So I agree with several of the other answers in that one respect.  However once again we have our president being accused for eroding our freedoms.  I challenge anyone to offer any evidence that an action on the part of the president has violated the bill of rights.   If you want to talk about an erosion of freedoms lets talkabout some of the liberal legislators in both state and federal  government who have made a habit of imposing arbitrary taxes.  Take for example taxes on tobacco products.  Whether you are a smoker or not, the principle should outrage you.  You have a few politicians who want to raise money who say well...".hey..i don't smoke..how about if we add 50 cents onto the cost of a pack of cigarettes...those smokers are in the minority, we can get away with it".  How fair is that?  Seems to me we fought a revolution in this country over less than this.  How about eminent domain?  You don't think that is an erosion of your freedoms.  A city can just decide they are going to buy your property from you and sell it to a developer because they can make more money in taxes from what will be built there.  What ever happened to private property?  I guess that doesn't mean so much to you liberals.  And why?...Because...private property is the first thing to go under communism and the liberal left mentality in this country today is a direct result of the influence of communist/socialist educators.  Talk about rights.  You are more concerned about a persons right to have unprotected sex without consequences than the right of a living innocent baby to survive.  Of course you are so concerned about crime that you don't want law abiding citizens to own firearms...you'd be just as happy if they banned them all, when statistically these gun owners aren't causing the deaths.  Yet your liberal minded judges continue to give repeat offenders light sentences or grant probation so that young kids can continue to be raped and murdered by these animals.  Yeah, I'd say we have an erosion of our freedoms due to an unresponsive government that does not act in many cases in the best interest of the American people but rather for their own personal agendas.  In my opinion that agenda by and large is the perpetuation of themselves and their positions ala Ted Kennedy.  George Bush was the right man to be in office at this time and he is certainly no enemy of freedom.\n    I guess I kind of got off the topic a bit but the bottom line is I couldn't choose one individual right or freedom over another.  To do so would be like asking me to choose a part of my body to cut off.  They are all important to me.  They are all part of the whole that are liberty and I would give up my life to defend any one or all.

They're trying to get him for distribution/sales of Mary-J when all he does is sell seeds--what people do w/their harvest from the seeds is the U.S.Gv't problem, If people are gettin' their pain relief "naturally", the gov't doesn't get their cut( thats the problem and the main reason I believe) waaaawaaaaa!! Someone give them something to dry their eyes with.\nLike they don't have enough to deal with since they started this G.D war, they feel the need to go after a "seed distributer",morons don't know enough to keep out of other peoples lives and refuse to look at stats. of everything they have already legalized i.e methedone,oxycodone/contin. NOW those are DRUGS that will kill, but get caught burnin & relaxin' naturally watch out.\nThe FDA has approved so mant killers yet, "it's a drug free America" My ass!! \nThey need a scape goat and Marc is it, they don't want to look in the mirror and admit they're wrong.  Go Marc go keep doing what you're doing. Anyone know when the next Hemp fest is and where?

Well Mathyu I wish you could grow your own legally. I would be growing my own legally too if I could. I just went to Jack Herer's website and will be spending some time later reading more of it. Previously I was unaware of cannabis' ability to turn back the hands of time for Alzheimer's patients. My mom died of complications from Alzheimer's Disease I wish I had known then that there was a way to help her to keep from losing parts of herself.\nI could certainly use the $ but I don't think from what I've read so far that I would want to prove Jack wrong.\nWe'll talk again I'm sure.\nLL

You sound like you are a libertarian. They believe in things like less government and relaxed drug laws. On their website there is even a quiz to tell you what you are politically. The quiz is on the top left of the page listed.

Well, I didn't have to open the above link to know what it would say.\n\nYour question was extremely eloquent, and very valid to question these things.\n\nIn all fairness, I gave up on religion (at least my religion, catholicism, anyways), as I did not agree with many of their outdated views. They continue to ban homosexuality, rating it as a sin, and continue not to allow women priests.\n\nBeing gay myself, I know, as you know yourself, that this is how you are made. This is who you are. No amount of praying or trying to be anything else is ever going to change that.\n\nDeep down, I think we all know that this is how God made us. Infedelity, murder, greed, all easy to see how they are sins - they are perpetrated and can be redeemed... but wanting to be in loving relationships with members of your own sex - I could never understand how sinful that is.\n\nI know this is how I always was, I know that there is a lot of good I do in my life, and I try to lead a good and honest one, by being kind to my fellow human beings, respecting them, and overall trying to do some good.  The fact that I want to spend my life with a man instead of a woman - well I am positive that if I'm going to hell, it won't be because of this - how can it possibly? \n\nThe people on this earth who say we will go to hell, have not personally died and witnessed where straight and gay people go after they die. Hence they have no authority to tell us what will happen to us in an afterlife, and your guess is as good as theirs.\n\nAt least you know this is who you are - do not fight it, live a good and happy life, try to do good and live a moral life - one that you will be happy and fulfilled with, not one you will be miserable in and struggle to overcome something that is not overcomable. And know that while some will think you are sinning, there are others who are sure you are not. Its all opinion anyway.\n\nNo quoting bibles guys, the law of the bible is more strict than what is being practiced now anyway - statements such as slavery being acceptable are clearly wrong in this day and age, so why can people selectively discard these statements but hold onto its thoughts about homosexuality?\n\nToo many youths are depressed and sometimes comitting suicide due to society's inacceptance to gays. This has got to end. It's been a long time coming.

The communities that the early settlers organized would hardly be called "free".  They conducted in slavery, indentured servitude, witch burnings, genocide, and the settlers were often hungry, sick, and overworked.  A very bleak and pitiful life.  Very few wanted to come here (against popular belief).  This wasn't the "promised" land we imagine it was.  Just like Australia, America was seeded by the sick, criminal, poor, prostitutes, etc.\n\nThe only ones who found freedom were the Religious extremists kicked out of Europe.  And these were the guys burning witches!  The Pilgrims came so they could live a more restricted existence, not be free in the way we think free.\n\nThe reality is that America has never been as free as it has been in the last 50 some years.  Think: abortion, civil rights, medical cannabis, hardcore porn, 10,000 brands to chose from, and soon illegal immigrants will be free.  And before that prohibition.\n\nBut what is freedom?  It is something different for each person.  When Bush talks freedom I think he is talking about capitalism and consumerism.  But when Castro talks freedom he points at free health care, free education, freedom from poverty.\n\nMy sense of it is that when the Islamic World (for example), views our pornography, they can't believe what they are watching.  Among other things they must be total offended and think our society to be totally insane to allow these things.  We call it freedom, they call it depravity.\n\nThere are many things we are not free to do.  We can't use illegal drugs.  Can't drive too fast.  Got to pay your taxes.  Can't be late to work, or for that matter you must go to work.  Pay credit card bills.  Get up when the alarm goes off.  Walk the dog etc.  We are not a free society, but we call ourselves that.\n\nTrue freedom is abstract and hard to understand.  The quote I like is, "Freedom isn't free".

i live by my own atheist-bible, i'll quote it here. it's actually the long version of ur dalai lama-quote, i guess:\n\n"I do not drive too fast, even if i don't agree with the rules. I give too much change back to the girl behind the counter in the supermarket. When i find a wallet on the street, i return it to the owner without expecting a reward ,because the relief on your face is worth more to me than money. In a bar i'll talk to you, when you are standing alone. I will never jugde or disrespect you on your looks, not even on your charactre. \n\nAnd i do that without any God telling me to do that\n\nI give to charity, i seperate my garbage for a better environment. I rather put on an extra sweater, than to put up the heater. I never throw my chewing-gum on the street. Every week i buy the paper from a homeless person. I will help and support you if you're attacked by drunken guys on the street, i'll avoid the fight, but i'll never leave you alone. I help the old lady cross the street, i'll bring the crying lost little girl back to her mother.\n\nAnd i do that without any God telling me to do that\n\nI know no rules, except my own thoughts. After thinking everything through, i have to conclude that there must be 'something' to make this all happen. I've looked around and inspite of all the misery, the poorness, the crime, the hate, i don't see humans as sinners, but as people with choices. I don't think that i will be lost if i do not meditate on a mountain or pray under a cross. I don't even believe that the guy who blows himself up between a group of schoolkids will burn eternally. \n\nAnd i think that without any God telling me to think that\n\nEvery person has something good inside. Sometimes on the surface, sometimes deep hidden inside. I hope that the God they all talk about, is not the guy with the beard sitting on a cloud. The God i have faith in, is just a metaphore. A feeling. A sence of all the goodness inside the people. Nothing more than that. And more clear: nothing less than that. The goodness in our heart is the most important thing we have. My God has an extra 'O'...Good. \n\nAnd i am good, without any God telling me that\n\nGood has no need for symbols. No cross, no boring books, no big fat guy, no cow, no buildings with colored glass windows. Good is everywhere and is eternal. There is no need to pray for something good, because it will always be there. There is also no need to pray to end something bad, because the bad will also always be there. Sure there are bad people. These people are to dumb to understand the good. Goodness, kindness can relieve you. Badness only creates more badness. We can never beat the badness. A bad guy with a gun can only be beaten by a good guy with a gun. But a good guy doesn't use a gun.\n\nAnd even if the Good will always loose, I'll always try to be Good.\n\nEverything has its time, and its place. In our sadness, in our anger, in our happyness, in our love we can see our humanity. These things make us to be the people we are, they shape us, they teach us, they make us really feel. And in every deep misery, there is always a hidden hope, cause we all know anything can always be done differently. This earth is our playground, to feel, to laugh, to cry, to love and to live.\n\nAnd i live. And that's good."

It's about time you posted another question; don't you know I need my fix? \n\nMy opinion is that the article exposes the fact that the U.S. has problems. Yes, people, I know it is difficult to look into the big golden mirror, but we have serious issues here. \nI have always found it funny, that we have a nation full of people who spout Christian doctrines over breakfast then lobby for the God given right to carry assault weapons after lunch. I would not say that taking religion out of the country, or parts of it, would be a good idea. Religion keeps many people in line. Without the belief that the meek shall inherit the earth, there would be discontent amongst the nation's hard-working, extremely underpaid classes. But I do feel that the aforementioned reason is why religion has such a stronghold on this government. \n\nBeekay: This nation was founded by people who wanted religious freedom. The term "Creator" was quoted by you, from the forefathers of the country. Do you know why they did not use the term, "God"? It was so people of any religion could feel free to settle here. The "moral decline" of society began way before the 50's and 60's. How moral can a society be when 1/2 the population is treated worse than animals (Jim Crowe laws, rampant racism and lynchings), 1/2 the population had just been freed from slavery. 1/2 the population could not vote, and that's Women and Blacks. So, how moral was your idealic society?
