Today a group of citizens sent notice to the occupying empire. ‘Protecting us from local tribes and foreign instigators does not give you the right to maintain a military presence among us forever.  You must leave.  We claim the rights of self-governance and sovereignty.’  And the US was born.  Am I the only one who sees some irony here?

Then they declared that we have freedom of speech.  But, I did not post this to FB in order to avoid the Southern Indiana furor which would result.  The government still will not come and arrest me for saying it.  But, we have given our freedom over to whatever version of thought is currently considered politically correct and a total lack of civility during disagreements in public discourse.  That is a painful irony!
