Speech on freedom in America.

They say that Freedom comes at a price; why a price on freedom doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Won’t that negate freedom if you have to give something up for it? Freedom seems to me to be something that is without price, unchangeable for anything, any reason, any objective. It’s irreplaceable in all expressive senses it possesses and represents. It retains and upholds liberty, independence, privilege, and license to be and to live your life as you see suitable. Freedom is open to anyone who will fight for its existence if that fight is only to say that they yearn for it.      On the most part we see freedom as free, if we want to go out at 3:00 a.m. in the early morning for ice-cream and shotgun shells we are “Free” to do just that.     

 We as American citizens are accustom to many freedoms that we sometimes take for granted such as the freedom to speak out against anyone who is trying to infarct upon our civil liberties, the right to choose who will represent us to the rest of the world, and the freedom to make and change any rule set forth if it does not apply. Perhaps an even greater or equal achievement would be being able to believe whatever you want to believe to be able to think whatever you want to think without fear of persecution from people who may have other views. A very important freedom that many countries to this day can’t say they have achieved.      

 Freedom by Random House Webster’s College Dictionary’s definition means, “The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. Exemption from external control.
