The Land of the Free Lost its Concept of Freedom

Freedom does not mean damage. It does not mean harm. No form of harm, physical, physiological, or psychological is a part of freedom.

Harm is not normal. Violation and violence are not normal, and are not acceptable as part of the fabric of everyday life.

A lot of people have a difficult time when it comes to actual freedom. Even people who consider themselves liberal, when it comes to things which they personally do not accept, have a hard time truly accepting and appreciating freedom.

But that is another thing entirely from being harmed. There is freedom which does not cause harm, and then there is freedom which causes harm, which injures. Harm is where a line definitely is drawn. And, seeing how that line is incessantly crossed in the Land of the Free, it makes me wonder whether such crossing of the line is part of a malevolent plan.

Regardless of whether it is or not, it is sick.

It is not possible to enjoy being outdoors without being exposed to painfully loud motorcycles. Some of these vehicles emit noise that is simply astoundingly loud. Off the scale.

A top commander at my local police station LIED to me about being able to deal with the noise. Later, I was LIED to by another police officer from the same district. I am not talking about fuzzy ground here, where it is a matter of perhaps degree or interpretation. I am talking about flat out lying, claiming responsibility when there is none, then disclaiming responsibility and assigning it somewhere else when there is none.

It the people who the public pays to protect the peace lie and do not protect, what is there to be done?

Not only are the motorcycles atrocious, so too are the boom cars and other vehicles with harmfully loud exhaust systems.

I realize clearly now that this is their world – the cops who lie, the politicians who don’t give a shit, the companies who commit atrocities by manufacturing the equipment and gear which creates this deliberate noise and, finally, the sick, demented abusers who operate the vehicles inflicting harm on hundreds and even thousands of people daily.

It is their world. I have no part in it. And for me, what I need to do, is to remove myself as far away as possible from it. Let them have it.

Because this time is sick. Extremely, horrifyingly, quite inexcusably, and irredeemably sick. The Land of the Free has totally lost its concept of freedom. Freedom does not mean the right to damage others, to inflict harm, and to destroy peace and serenity.

America always seems to put a high value on partying. Everyone wants a nice party, to have fun. But the parties stop when the abuse begins. Having a great time is not synonymous with horrendous, incessant acts of abuse and violation. Quite the opposite. Having a great time happens when there is a core of stillness and peace. Then things can reach great heights. Now America is like a dwarf. It has lost its greatness and sinks further into a humiliatingly base level of cruelty and violence.

So it makes me wonder, what ultimately are the values people have, and how much or how little with they stand for, how wise or how ignorant will they be in their choices and in their actions?
