[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 504932, member: 14176"] The word freedom is an often misunderstood and overvalued word. Don't get me wrong, our country is founded on certain freedoms. These freedoms, as alluded by previous posters, protect us from criminal persecution. What's often lost is that freedom in any form is only justified if it does not infringe on the liberties of another. The liberties of an individual or even a Fortune 500 company. A perfect example is the OJ trial. Although he was found not guilty of murder, it did not make him exempt from civil prosecution by the Goldmans. Another would be smoking laws. While people have the right to smoke, they don't have the right to smoke were ever they please. Freedoms come with a price. Be prepared when exercising your convictions. [/QUOTE]
