Greeting's I take this time to express a thought and hopefully encourage those around me that we Must be faithful to the very last breath we are granted... Although  I am relatively young in yrs I have spent most of my adolescence and adult life fighting for things that were right, just and true. I have been laughed at, ignored, frowned upon, punished, and even been made a joke of. All very disturbing, wicked acts meant to destroy a young and vicious warrior, who knows his path and the battle before him as well the cost. The mistakes I have made along the way have been tools used to sharpen my armaments.I give credit unto G-d as he is the maker of this vessel, he alone molded the character I am today. Some men do not understand the principles life, liberty, as well the right to pursue happiness. The word "unalienable" is a foreign dialect in the American language today. Lets take a moment to understand life, as Bastiat said "We hold from G-d the gift which includes all others. This life physical, intellectual, and moral life." Bastiat further adds "That life cannot maintain itself alone. The creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it." It was upon reading these very words that i more so then anyone else was responsible for carrying out this in my life as an example to my son and others. Liberty is probably the most restricted elements of our lives in America today. I often try to let people define liberty in their own terms, when i present the question of Rights v Privileges. I ask what do you have the right/freedom to exorcise? It is in most cases I can show that the rights one thinks he has is merely just a privilege. For example do you have a right to marry? Well you have the right to choose whom you will marry in most cases, but you have to ask the king if he will grant your request by getting a license. Blacks Law Dictionary; License: Permission to do what would otherwise be illegal. Another example is my poor dog, he has to have a license or rather i have to purchase him one. My question is simply this is, it illegal for my dog to be a dog? Most American are held to the belief they have freedoms or rights, and yes they do but every freedom they choose to exorcise will cost them monetarily. Such as driving license, fishing or hunting, marriage, property taxes, ect. I wonder what is and where is Liberty in our so called free society today? As one of the greatest minds of law and liberty James Wilson once said, Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members: and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object is not a government of the legitimate kind.” I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.
