in closing.... freedom is a shared experience,
with a shared responsibility!

Truth And Justice.... (Part Six)
i'm not trying to make people angry
this morning... an intelligent person
know anger is but a symptom of the
disease...
i do state this firmly:
you are a human being.
i dont care about your skin color,
your religious views, whether
you're male or female...
whether you're gay or straight...
you deserve the right to be who
you are, to your own dignity,
to work, to be fed and sheltered,
to raise your families,
to believe in your dreams.
and all of the people around
this old world deserve the same...
you deserve to be free...
inequality, greed, and apathy
wont cut it.
the truth is, we're all human!
and this is the truth that sets us free!

Deviant economic principles and manipulation in currency, commodity and stock markets will not make us free and equal. Eric, poverty is more than what we feel here..
A great poem in closing, the day we all stop sharing freedom is the day we all lose it.
