Freedomland: A Fable
In Freedomland there were no traffic lights, cars met willy nilly and sometimes great crashes happened. Some people would say we know you think this freedom, we think it not. So they would debate. And some in their thinking thought this is freedom, but others in their thinking thought is this freedom. Still no lights. Work in Freedomland was sometime work and sometimes not. Some inherited wealth and some a business and others lived from day to day. Work could come young or old or in-between and again some thought this is freedom and others in their thinking thought maybe not. In Freedomland's medicine sometimes the young would come in hurt and the doctors would check their pockets and say I'm sorry in Freedomland I am free to treat or not. Work would sometimes be done and sometimes not and some would have nice homes and some nice shacks, everyone was free. Often though this got some thinking is this the best that Freedomland can do. They knew that they had freedom but they knew that they could get hurt or sick or homeless too. Again the debates began because they liked their freedom they liked too to express it in all ways. And some came and some went as they talked for no one really cared they had such freedom. One Freedomlander expressed her thoughts, she said that freedom was all well and good, but that is only if you are lucky. Now this struck all the Freedomlanders as odd for what was luck when you free. But then another jumped right up and said that some were blessed and that was not just luck. This confused them all again and so they sat and thought, and others were thinking how great freedom was and others were thinking I have to work soon. So on it went this debating, and the crashes, and the worker left out in the cold, for what was more important than freedom Freedomlanders thought.
Do you remember me asking you not to post without quoting other people and how you thought it was a compliment?
It wasn't.
This post is so stupid the average 5 year old would be insulted if I used it to argue against anything.
