.At this time especially we should be thinking about those who gave their lives so that we have the right to decide , not arguing (however friendly the argument is) about who's right or wrong about issues of personal freedom.
Most of us are considerate. There's hope for us all, us mortals

I am thinking a lot about those who gave their lives, and it's in this thinking about the whole "freedom" point that makes me comment. I can't think of those who lost their lives in WW2 and not remember the importance of why ... and the importance of a sort of feeling of "debt" to these people, to keep alive and well, their memories, AND the freedoms they fought and died for. Freedom of choice ....

I keep especially thinking about our 156 executed POWS, and those slaughterd in concentration camps etc ... they weren't given an opportunity or choice. Thats loss of freedom at its worst. It could happen again. It starts with the little things? No?

(BTW... calling the archives today! )
