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...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
