What's Happen'

What is happening on planet earth? I have been bombarded with petitions lately. Petitions for iminent domain ( the right for a private organization to take your property if they can prove something else can be built there that would be more profitable), the right to post the ten commandments in public, someone being fired because on their own time and without mentioning anything about the company they worked for wrote in the newspaper about their feelings about homosexuals, and a letter to the president about the appointment of a new Supreme Court justice. Where is everyone's common sense or how about constitutional rights? How about the right to own property without it being given to someone else? What about the right to free speech? What about the right to religion or post historical documents? What about your word? What is your word worth any more? The farther we go into allowing freedoms the more freedoms are limited. How far will it need to go to protect everyone's right? What do you think?

Christie-
I'm so glad you started a blog! Fun. I think its insteresting what you say about the more freedoms we gain that the more it is limited. It's kinda like one person's freedom might be the taking of anothers. Hmm never thought about it quite like that.

the gov't has slowly turned into our parents. Is that good or bad? (ex seat belts, we have laws for seat belts because it's not being reinforced).Also I think there is lack of wisdom, hard work and general integrity in our employed public.
