Freedom as a concept

I think we need to recognize the differences between Politics and Government.

Government, such as a constitutional democracy, is run by the rules set up by the people, or those that have been selected to be the representative of the people.

Politics, on the other hand, is a grand royal way to screw up government as it should be.

For example...why should someone with a law degree, who never practiced law, and comes from money, make a logical decision about public school education? Seems to me this is a bad setup.

Freedom is a great idea...sadly chances are we'll never see it. I'm not saying everyone should be allowed to do anything their heart desires. If that was the case there would be lot more relaxed and naked people in the world. Actually, that would be nice...but I digress. Freedom means responsibilty as well.

This includes the responsibilty to leave people alone and let them live their lives in a way that suits them.

Take all this for what you want. I just had time to rant, and so I did...without talking about space ethnicities are saying post pics of your boobs. It was worth a shot.
