We are, on the whole, soft in all things since we have not had to fight for our freedoms/liberty for at least five decades and quickly forget that the moment our guard is relaxed, someone is nearby ready to take our freedom from us. Some, who should know better, believe we should give up our freedom as retribution for crimes none of us have committed. I know little about Canada Day, but I do know the Canadians envy us the freedoms we take for granted: Freedom of Speech being first among them. Bastille Day celebrates the first step of an egalitarian movement, but that went so much further toward a totalitarian government with the slaughter of over 600,000 people, including the founder of the movement, Robespierre. While we are extraordinarily lucky in America, our freedoms are always at risk, from without and within.<br />Leigh Verrill-Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768398558019474096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-78085981998460483282017-07-06T13:56:38.766-07:002017-07-06T13:56:38.766-07:00A good reminder of what our countries are about. ...A good reminder of what our countries are about.
