(487 posts)Anytime you take away someone's else's freedom, you have just limited your own.
You want to take away other people's freedoms for some false sense of insecurity you are experiencing. You are willing to destroy the constitution one article at a time until you have lost all the rights maintained by the sacrifices of Americans for over two hundred years. The problem with this spoiled generation is the notion that freedom is free, that you don't have to sacrifice to have it, you don't have to die or feel pain or discomfort to have it. Well your wrong. Arlington is full of patriotic brothers of mine that paid the ultimate price for your freedoms that you would give away so nonchalantly and carelessly. Do you think 20 children is a reason to destroy 200 years of American history and millions of Americans sacrificed their lives over? Perhaps if you had stood on a bloody battlefied like I have, and held my brothers as life slipped away from, or talked to their parents about their last dying words, perhaps then you would understand the sacrifice America makes for freedom. If you do nothing else in your life, go down to your local VA hospital and see whats left of combat veterans that have paid the price for freedom.
