Freedom of Choice Freedom of Speech

Freedom of Choice Freedom of Speech
A while back there was a popular song called "My Place In The World" that was lighting up the air waves.
It meant a lot to me to hear it, as many songs do, because it was an expression of how I, too, was feeling.
I felt displaced. I didn't know where I belonged. I didn't know what was acceptable or unacceptable in other people’s worlds. We’d do some of the same things. We all knew what common sense was when we talked about things, yet, things were different. It seemed everything was unacceptable where I was concerned whether it was good or bad. Like darned if you do darned if you don’t.
So making any sense of it all was very difficult for me. I decided since I was going to be accused of everything fictitious 24/7 that I would delve into the past and get to the root of the problem.
It seems a child was born with a heart of gold and everyone knew it but her. Oh there were all kinds of plans being made being made behind her back and linen dresses for her to wear always, and she found herself more and more convinced that fate had charted her course from the beginning.
Maybe she would be the one to break the mold and make it through where so many before her had failed. Or at least bring the next one on this journey a little bit closer to the prize. She always believes leave the world a better place than how you found it. If you do anything, do it for the betterment of the species.
So as history also teaches, we record things in writing as a chronology of what life was like for us on the planet.
So there are a lot of the reasons why I write books. For one thing, I don’t feel like I can’t. It just feels like destiny’s calling and there’s nothing I can do but write. It wasn’t that there weren’t chances for me in my life. I soon found that we’re doomed from the start with tyranny at the head. My instincts just always led me in other directions. In school they say the difference between animals and humans is that human beings have the ability to think. That’s true. Human beings also have instincts.
Never having been the type to go along with the crowd living the “if all your friends jump off a cliff would you? syndrome although in college I might have been crowd-associated, I found that I was always better off sticking with what I know.
I guess today I feel that I do know a little about where I belong.
I'll be doing the same things I'm always doing, trying to earn a living and trying to live an honest life, walking through the toils and snares fighting the good fight for what I believe. I don't really tell you to believe what I believe. That's a choice. I am in much appreciation of our country, the people who work tirelessly to insure that our basic freedoms and democracy are preserved against all and sometimes seemingly insurmountable odds, and for the people who continue to fight and serve and protect.
I am always talking about the armed forces and the first responders, our public servants, all the people within a government that make it click. And I am always hoping to be talking in favor when I do talk.
I guess politics gets in the way and I don't say all the things I really should say.
Freedom of speech, freedom of choice, the right to the pursuit of happiness are all ingrained in our heritage as American people. Ok the very same people who go to the podium and say that they defended people’s right to say what they say but at the same time denounced it, are, I believe, the very same people who on a daily basis are denying people their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
So to color yourself as a politician but when you are denying people of their basic rights how effective then, are you?
I don't tell the truth to bring you guys down, I tell the truth because you are more tyrannical than anything else when you do that and that's why every one left England in the first place.
Shuffling backwards doesn’t make me feel good about anything. The history books speak for their self.
It's a new day. I agree. As some singers would say, it's daybreak, if you want to believe.
I believe to be happy for today because it’s today and for no other reason.
So, I'm not so scared anymore. I see responsible leadership at the helm, so I will rest here with my next pursuit, my niche, my place in the world.
