Ah Freedom, are we truly free? Let’s take a good look at you and me, walking five

 

hundred steps back-in time. No need to rewind, just click and find. Wow it’s the World

 

Wide Web, look at that Indian, he’s dead! Butchered to save a buck, damn what shitty

 

luck. Is that Columbus? Is that the pilgrims breaking bread? Oh no it’s a couple of skin

 

heads conforming in a den. Freedom, you say, I say, I have, but do I? Do we? Do you?

Freedom is not given, but earned. We must create our own with in. -Peace
