Freedom.  People say they want it.  But do they?
And if so, for whom? Nearly everyone (whom you might meet here)says he wants freedom, but when you get specific you'll see he doesn't.  Everyone wants freedom for HIS cause,hobby, sport or lifestyle.  The anti-gunners want freedom for themselves  and whatever their lifestyle, etc they have.  Most pro-gunners want the freedom to KBA, mainly for THEIR "type" of weapon.  Many, if not most hunters and "sportsmen" don't give a damn if you, the "assault weapon" people have the right to have YOUR "type" of weapon.
Many people want to be able to drink their alcohol, but don't care or don't want marijuana users to be able to smoke a joint. In fact many people I know reject the free state project for the "drug" issue.  Anyone reading this can have a baggie of MJ and be back at your computer in fifteen minutes.  But I digress, if you really want freedom support the freedom of others.

You want the freedom to smoke dope?

Move to Illinois. Our potential demo governor is a liberal doper.

Most of us have NO idea what freedom and liberty is. We've never had it, never will. Our "education" system, and "democracy" will see to that.......

We could, but the liberals could not handle the blood in the streets for the first year.

We're all pretty much "free" to smoke dope now.  My point was that everyone only wants what he enjoys to be free or legal but doesn't want "Group x" doing something he doesn't like.
