No One in America is Free and Liberated

You say that you live in a free and just society but you lie.  This society is not free and it is definitely not just unless you count the numerous times when the rules favored you or an event happened to satisfy your need.  If you count those times then perhaps you may have a point but I ask you.  When the rules favored you or that event happened to satisfy your need, how then is society free and just if during those times those same rules or that same event was unjust or binding to another.  Unless you wish to redo your calculations of what free and just really mean but only to you and now say that this society is free and just whenever the rules favor you or an event happen to satisfy your need and to hell with everyone else.  Then perhaps you may have a point.

I vocalize this rant to try and get as many people to see that the old saying holds true.  The old saying is “we are our brothers and sisters keeper”.  Whether you wish to admit it or not, whether you wish to embrace it or not and whether you want to own it or not.  Every decision that each of us makes, as an individual, will and does affect another person either directly or indirectly.  This decision will affect another human being whether they reside next door or in the next town, hell maybe in the next state.  Our society is not free and just because what maybe just to you, might not be just to me.  The only real free anything we have is “will” but even that freedom cost someone something.   Free will cost Jesus Christ his earthly life.

We are not a free society because as long as a judge is able to limit our movements by incarceration, we are not free.  We are not a free society as long as lawmakers are able to make laws which restrict our movements, we are not free.  We are not a free society if rules, regulations and laws are enact which can limit, if not, completely revoke even something as simple as the right to vote, we are not free.  We are not a free society if the style of religion we choose to follow has rules that dictate what we have to do in order to claim that title, we are not free.  

We are not a just society if the rules establish reports to help save us from ourselves are not the choice we choose to make.  If it is my intention or desire to be lazy, worthless and a burden upon society then so be it.  This choice will affect others yes, but it will affect me more especially when this intention or desire is made so transparent that it even become clear to me.  There are those who may appear lazy, worthless and a burden upon society but they are truly not.  Many have experienced something unknown to all but familiar to some which has them suspended in this animation.  All they require is the knowledge to break free or a hand to help them out.  Many of those who may at first glance seem lazy, worthless and a burden will use that assistance to step up and step out of that hole, but in such an unjust society that we have formed for ourselves, only those who look a little deeper will ever see it.  We are not a just society if the rules which are supposed to be designed to protect the many actually were designed to covet and protect the few.


Contrary to what may feel best, we need to come to terms with this nation not being as free and just as we would like to believe.  This society that we have is constantly evolving and we really can make it free and just but there will be costs.  Those with so much will be asked to give up some and those with little will be given the responsibility of more.  Each of these groups will have their own personal demons to keep at bay but the real question shall be are they willing to make the necessary decisions to make our union a more perfect one or are they content to just get all that they can before they lose their earthly life?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
