notes:

At what price freedom ? Thomas jefferson said it is , " Eternal Vigalance" . But how much more do we have to pay now. I do think he was unaware , as to how much it was going to cost this nation a couple of hundred years later. We have become the light of nations to many and an uncontroled power hungry nation to others. We have wasted sons on battle fields that were not our to fight . We have overthrown tyrants and dictators . We have fought in two world wars and a number of other conflicts. We have had a civil war where brother killed brother.
Now we have another war at our home front. We bar our doors and windows , put in alarm systems. Some even carry guns to protect what is theirs. We even put up barbed and razor wire to keep others out or to keep ourselves in our own prisons. We build prisons to teach someone just how wrong they were. Then we let them out to to the same damage as before. We are a nation of laws , but only the bad seem to know them and bend and break them . We guard our borders to no avail . So I ask again , " At what price freedom " ?
Enjoy yor freedoms , for tomorrow they could be gone !
