Land of the Free

Freedom is living in the United States of America. I love this country and
I wouldn't want to live any place else but here. The United States of America
is the most "democratic" nation in the world. There is total freedom here.
Even bums and bag ladies have freedom to be who they are. I'm free to love,
date, and marry any one that I choose. There are no laws that say I can't.
I'm free to live in any county within the good old US of A. That means that I am
free to live in any state, city, or township within the bounderies of the United States.

I can buy whatever I want to as long as it is a legal purchase. I'm free to do whatever I want to in my home as long as I'm not breaking any laws. I'm free to listen to the birds sing and the children's laugh. I'm free to affiliate with any religion of my choosing and (this is the best part) If I choose not to affiliate myself with any religion at all, I'm free to exercise that "right." I will not be dragged from my home, beaten, and raped because I refused to associate myself with a particular
religion. I can exercise my right to vote or if I don't want to execise my right to vote,
here in the US I can happily and legally do so.

I can have as many children that I want to. There's no cut-off date here in
the good-old US of A. I can work anywhere I want to. I can talk on my telephone without being eavesdropped on. Okay, I'm not so sure about that considering the "war in Irag" situation. I'm free to love my family, friends, and neighbors. I can go to bed whenever I want to. It's not "lights off" at 10:00 p.m. here, no sir ree, it's "lights off" when I feel the need to rest.

I'm free to eat at any restaurant of my choosing unless of course if the owners
are have a problem with that. I'm free to dine anywhere at home, work, and
public parks. " I'm free to laugh, be sad, or cry if I want to in the "good-old US
of A." I have freedom of speech and freedom of expression here in America. I can petition the government if I feel that it has acted in a way that would cause me,
family and other Americans harm. The government won't throw me into jail for
petitioning it. I can strike on my job and lead a demonstrate in a non-violent way here in the US. I can read books at the library, check them out of the library, or not go to the library at all. I can laugh, shout, and dance about here in the "good-old US of A." I can love you and you can love me here in the "good-old US of A." Yes, sir ree, The United States of American is the place for me!
