Welcome back!

Lately I’ve seen things that make me wonder about what has happened to our rights as US citizens. The Constitution has many parts to it. One of those parts is called the Bill of Rights. This was written to ensure that we as Americans do not have the same troubles that caused our forefathers to leave their homes and seek out a new land. They wanted to get away from the abuse of power that was going on at their old country.

These rights were written to make sure that our country was not taken over and run by any dictator. These rights were written to protect us and to help keep us safe.

Today there are so many new laws that it is hard to keep track of what has been written. We as citizens need to keep aware of what is going on around us so that we are not caught unaware. Our system is not perfect. It never has been, but our system is the reason that I am able to write what I feel and what I believe. Yes, many times I write about things that have made me snicker and laugh. Those things can be important when there are bad things happening around me.

I must admit that there are times that I do not seem aware of the politics of modern life. I still enjoy the freedom that i have however. I do try to appreciate that I do have these freedoms and more. I guess that sometimes I just need to remind myself so that i do not take it all for granted. After all many have died to insure that I can write about cats, laughter, politics, medicine, and most importantly of all OPINIONS.

How about you? What freedoms do you appreciate?
