A couple of beers with a couple of the guys. Not much to it.
It is sad how little independence people have today. Half couldn't come at all, half who did couldn't stay.
Everyone can tell you what freedom is but few can demonstrate it.
To be free, freedom must be an overriding value. It doesn't have to be first 100% of the time, just available.
I can tell you that I'm not free and I don't know anyone who is. I can also say that I am a bit closer to it than most and farther away from it than I would like to be. Freedom has a meaning all its own and that meaning gets lost when you choose to put other things before it.
This is not about the Eric Hoffer book but he still might turn up from time to time.
