Title: Freedom
Post by SteveY on Dec 31^st, 2002, 6:52pm

Having just witnessed the arrival of the New Year in the UK.

Fireworks, people laughing enjoying themselves, it struck me how fortunate we are to live in a democracy.

People coming and going as they please, saying what they think and feel, looking after their loved ones and being happy.

Whatever happens in 2003, the price of freedom and democracy is paramount, whatever needs to be done, has to be done.

Happy New Year to you ALL.

Steve

You're right and happy 2003. I can't express it better than Franklin:

"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.

Gotta like this one too:

He that blows the coals in quarrels that he has nothing to do with, has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face.
