Open Mike

Free Country where you can write whatever you want to Pretty free with exceptions like the Scottsboro boys and Leo Frank The sky is clear today in NYC Birds chirping here in the winter Let us take note of the urban scene Deep in our minds lies the truth we should take note of the tasty realities which have become our hope in these "funny times"

We have the right to free speech, until what we say offends someone. We live in the land of the free, but sometimes it does not feel that way... It's good that you can enjoy what freedoms we do have. Always express yourself, Matthew. Great work, as usual!

glad to see you voted for the good of the country!! though I think Obama fell short with his health care by compromising with insurance companies.

I guess you are right - it is a pretty free country. However, there are some exceptions to that in our past. Remember we once had slavery. I decided to vote Democratic for President. I know one of the founding father's said "A republic if you can keep it" but I feel it is more of a Democracy - or should be. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
