    For the last couple of years, I have seen a bunch of "homemade' posters stuck all over freeway overpasses, billboards, and the like, and they read:

    _______

    "URNOT

    FREE"

    ------------

    Just like that. Glancing at one as I drive by, I can just make out a face that looks vaguely like Stalin or Hitler. They started appearing in my neighborhood about 3 years ago. I still see old ones, but I don't sse many newly-placed ones.

    I often wonder why the young don't understand the concept of liberty and freedom, and why the old folks are so ready to take it away from others. You seem to be smart. Maybe you can explain why taking freedom from others, while keeping it for yourself, is such a popular activity these days.

    The liberals seem to think so. At least if they get to be in charge and not one of the shackled.

    The government is doing it on purpose.

    They don't care about us.

    They literally are enslaving us.
