Popular Post i am bob Posted March 31, 2015 Popular Post Posted March 31, 2015 FREEDOM... Do you hate your Boss? Are you working for Slave Wages? Can't pay the Mortgage on your 14 foot trailer? And the Park Fees are going up again? Along with the cost of Water and Electricity? Or are you longing for LOVE in your life? Maybe even just go on a date with the Love of your Life? Perhaps you just want a pair of pants to fit that size 58 waist of yours? And that slightly large than life waist of yours can be explained by a diet of Kraft Dinner... The only food you can afford... Of course you can't afford coffee anymore now so it's Tap Water only with the minimal 50% Chlorine content... So, when you wake in the morning, it's off to work again - only to sit not moving on what is called a HiWay bot more closely resembles a Parking Lot... Aren't you tired of the RAT RACE? WE HAVE JUST THE PLACE FOR YOU!!! Here you won't have a boss, you generally AREN'T ALLOWED TO WORK! And, if you are one of the (un)fortunate few who do work for a living, making anything over $3 an hour puts you into the "ELITE" category! What does that mean to you! NO MORTGAGE! Just stop in at your local Appliance Store and select a nice large cardboard box that, when folded flat, will accommodate your 6 foot frame... Yup! This is your new home! Just drop it in front of any store or bank after closing and enjoy all the comforts of home! No more Trailer Park fees... No more utilities! Which means you can now save all your money for paying the Bar Fine of that sweet young thing who asked you for the date tonight - and then brought you right into the bar she was standing in front of! Fantastic! No Taxi fare! Pay that little inconvenience known as a Bar Fine and now you can take her home for the night to your cardboard box in front of the local constabulary! YIPPEE!!! YOU FOUND LOVE!!! Now, for the next time you see her, you want to be able to dress up, right? No problem! Stop at any of the local tailors and they will custom-make you a pair of "Hot Pants" shorts in any color you want - just so long as it's floral! Just like Grandma's old flannel nightgown... But the price is right! Only half of what WallyWorld would have charged you... Just don't expect your new clothes to last all that long... But that's ok! You're off that diet of Kraft Dinner now, right? And your new diet of Rice and Chicken Intestines is going to help that waistline of yours immensely, don't you agree? Yes, you'll be a He-Man soon! And don't you feel better now that you're not drinking all that water with Chlorine anymore? Yes, sipping straight from the gutter is always so much tastier! So, in the morning, when you're wanting to get to that medical treatment center for your strange case of the Runs, just walk out to the main road and wave your arm up and down! Sure enough, some young guy on a motorcycle will pull over for you! Don't worry when he offers to hold your wallet for you so you don't lose it on the ride... And , yes, riding on the sidewalk here - just like your driver does - is very common! No more waiting in traffic - just ride right through it! So, as your are cruising down the highway that runs through the downtown core of your new city, with a very large truck only millimeters away from the back tire of that bike and you're trying your hardest not to do the backdoor squirt on his very shiny truck bumper, remember! You escaped the RAT RACE!!! WELCOME TO FREEDOM!!! Ok, i KNOW THAT NO PLACE IS AS BAD AS I WROTE ABOVE!!! Sorry for the shouting but I wanted to nix those shouts of "Hang 'em" coming from the back of the room... I wanted to illustrate that, it doesn't matter where you go in this world, there is always something not quite to our liking... No Place Is Perfect!!! But it is what we perceive as better than before that we seek... And the freedom to move there, live there and love there that we seek. If in our eyes we have found what we are looking for? We've achieved FREEDOM!!! oh, and I have only been awake for less than 20 minutes... Hope the coffee's ready? :unsure: :rolleyes: :mocking: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WordsandMusic Posted April 1, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 1, 2015 The one thing that just kills me everyday, is watching all that this country has and was be squandered by those who never had to work for it or protect it. I'm sick to my stomach watching the minority push our laws and judicial system around. They cry wolf and lawyers come out of the wood work, (ACLU). Small business are being flipped for government over reach and control. Working folks are forced to move from their rural homes and to comply with big city politics. EPA, IRS, and other government agencies are strong arms for the Mob. School children are being groomed to rely and love big government. School has been dumbed down so that the future adults can't think for themselves. American history books have been changed to reflect a different history than we grew up with. A more shall we say less than flattering interpretation of the white man in America. Crime is at an all time high and people are desperate for answers to questions we are not allowed to ask, we ask them we are labeled as racist, war mongers and red necks. So maybe freedom is the ability to walk away from something you dearly love and wish you could save, but know you cannot. A million lives lost in several wars so we can give it all away to a few privilege and sick minded souls, who have no idea what they have or hate America so much they have found ways to cut her heart out. Freedom may be putting ones head in the sand, trying to make the best of a situation. Alas, we have those who depend upon us. For direction, nurturing, strength and fortitude. They have become our last hope for a reprieve. We instill in them the dreams of our Fathers, the dreams of our Mothers, praying that just maybe with the right spark they will be part of a revolution that puts America back into the light. An America where people can work and be happy. A place where it's ok to dream and to speak of dreams with out being label by a small minority. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthdome Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Your freedom stops at my nose. i.e. You are free to live your life as long as you don't initiate violence against me, commit fraud or steal from me. Please allow me the same amount of freedom. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry45 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, guys. Sometimes the freedom here in the Phils seems like a license to be a huge jerk without any consequence. But I certainly appreciate the freedom from the 9-5, and the freedom to "not really give a crap" about what others think, and still live happily. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
