Freedom isn't free and is taken for granted by so many - time to give some thought to those freedoms taken for granted.
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln
There are many trying to make the choices for others. They would likely be the loudest screamers if it were their freedoms being assaulted. Excellent quote for consideration.
We have to call it "freedom": who'd want to die for "a lesser tyranny"? ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
How very true and insightful.
"We have enjoyed so much freedom for so long that we are perhaps in danger of forgetting how much blood it cost to establish the Bill of Rights." ~Felix Frankfurter
"Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from themselves." ~Author Unknown
So true and where the US appears to be today.
Understanding and fighting for freedoms other than your own takes unselfishness and thought to the future. For although the gator may eat you last, be sure, eat you he will.
Great list.
