The Land of the Free
Yes, here we are, living in what some refer to as “The Land of the Free.”
Yes, here we are free. Free to do what, I’m not sure. After all, if you milk a cow and sell the milk, you get raided. And you don’t just get arrested, you get tens of thousands of dollars stolen from you by the government. And seriously, the ONLY “crime” committed was selling milk from a cow. Yes, the land of the free — except for those who milk cows and sell that milk.
Land of the free. Well, free for some, of course. If you happen to point your finger at one of your superiors (”elected” officials), you, too, might be jailed. Yes, that’s right — point your finger at the “wrong” government official, and you can get a $1,500 fine and 30 days in jail. No, no threatening. No words at all — just point your finger at the wrong person, and it’s off to jail with you. Wouldn’t it be neat if we had the freedom to speak our minds and criticize government? That would be nice to have in a land of free people.
So you go right ahead and keep calling this the “Land of the Free.” Just understand that’s a statement of an older time — when people actually had rights. It’s from a time when we were ruled by laws, not men. And it’s from a time when the Constitution was the law of the land. America used to be the Land of the Free. And while America may have the most freedom on the planet, that doesn’t mean we’re free. We are free to do as the government says. Don’t believe me? Go try and sell some cow milk and see what happens to you.
