Liiberty (Slam)

Liberty….I have a voice and I believe in the freedom of speech
	It is my choice and so I tell people, “Practice what you preach!
Liberty….Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one!
	I have a right to my own goals and I will get them done!
Liberty….I’m aware people may not like the choices I make;
	But I don’t care; I’m entitled to make mistakes!
Liberty….It is my business what I do under the roof of my home
	Privacy is not “nosey-proof”, but people do have the “nosey-syndrome”!
Liberty….If I want to, I will turn and travel in another direction;
	People claim second-hand smoke kills; then don’t sit in the smoking section!
Liberty…First focus on yourself, within, and stop all the damn protesting!
	It happens so often, a Father whips his child only to be accused of molesting
Liberty….It is my right to raise my children as I see fit;
	But the real culprit is that parasite lurking in the pulpit!
Liberty….My life is mine alone, so stop worrying about me;
	Get a backbone and enjoy your own liberty!

"Nosey Syndrome" seems to prevail in Washington today. The federal government is bent on intruding in every aspect of our lives. Let's hear three cheers for state rule and let the feds handle only international matters. Powerful statement, Jimmy, and I wish you success in Dane Ann's contest. Love, Carolyn
