ah. the age old question. what is freedom? freedom i suppose is the ability to do whatever i want. of course that is a very broad definition, but its the one i choose. my freedom relies on a couple of things. it relies on having all of my limbs, my brain function, and some protection from the freedom of others (only because i'm sure some people might want to hurt me). of course if you're definition of freedom is something else it would rely on quite a different set of things. what makes us happy? for me it has to be that i use my freedom to the utmost. see i don't particularly mind our laws and regulation (as noted above i need them to protect me from you) because they don't really stop my kind of freedom since i am still able to do whatever i want. i know some of you think thats not true, but it is. i can do whatever i want as long as i don't mind or am willing to deal with the consequences. for instance, i've decided not to capitalize anything in this blog (which i'm sure upsets many of you literati) knowing full well that my ideas might seem less important because of this decapitalization [yes i made that word up, but i'm in the field (english) and am therefore allowed to make words up].
ah that made me happy.
