    This is all of us.
Might as Well

Its Freedom Week. So watch out, you might be oppressed more than any other week. I understand that we are more free than others in this world but really, no one is free. So why call it Freedom Week? This is just to incite the false patriots into the same old things they 'celebrate' on the 4th of July. What is celebrated? When we broke away from Great Britian not so long ago, we had a whole list of morals and values that the king had trampled on and so forth we would never let that happen again! Right? Its not so. That same list of grievences called The Declaration of Independance is basically the daily news for people of today. So when we go to celebrate our 'freedom' does anyone stop and look around and say that we are not free? No, because you'd be excersising freedoms you do not have. Such as free speech and so on.

"Every organization in America can, and should, participate in Freedom Week. It is designed to focus attention on the human values which produced the understanding that self-governance means: government empowered only by the consent of the governed. Freedom Week is a celebration of the discovery of those principles of self-governance so eloquently expressed and forever enshrined in the American Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. No American can be offended by such a celebration; every American should enthusiastically participate in it." -http://www.freedom.org/fweek/participate.htm

Is this so? What human values do we speak of? You mean how we rape and pillage smaller countries or those without technology like ours to get what we want? Where is this self-governance? I have never governed myself here in America! Can no American be offended by such a celebration? I am offended! I do not wish to celebrate something that no one on Earth has!
