There are things we should be set free from ...and there are things we should not be. There is a thing called commitment, and it coincides with maturity.

Free from ...is not the same as freedom, and I'm not just being dumb when I say this.

What are some things we'd like to be free from???

• Debt
• Crime
• Poverty
• Sickness
• Taxes
• Marriage
• Frustration

There are things in the U.S.A. that give us freedoms, whether we still have to struggle to realize them, or not:

• Freedom of speech
• Freedom of religion
• Freedom of assembly (we're not talking legos)
• The right to bear arms (not talking sleeveless shirt)
• The right to equal justice
• The right to own private property

And there are freedoms we dream of that we don't have:

• Free as a bird
• Free to live without conflict (which by the way, a bird does not have this exemption ...there are no bird police or counselors)
• Free from bills, budgets, and burdens
