What Freedom Means...

   On this election day I thought I'd post the lyrics to a song that
   really sums up my feelings about not just freedom but what it means to
   be an American. I hope these words touch you as they have touched me.

     Freedom Isn't Free

     What would you do If you were asked to give up your dreams for
     freedom What would you do If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice

     Would you think about all them people Who gave up everything they
     had. Would you think about all them War Vets And would you start to
     feel bad

     Freedom isn't free It costs folks like you and me And if we don't
     all chip in We'll never pay that bill Freedom isn't free No,
     there's a hefty fuckin' fee. And if you don't throw in your buck 'o
     five Who will?

     What would you do If someone told you to fight for freedom. Would
     you answer the call Or run away like a little pussy 'Cause the only
     reason that you're here. Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
     So maybe now it's your turn To die kicking some ass

     Freedom isn't free It costs folks like you and me And if we don't
     all chip in We'll never pay that bill Freedom isn't free Now
     there's a have to hook'in fee And if you don't throw in your buck
     'o five Who will?

     You don't throw in your buck 'o five. Who will? Oooh buck 'o five
     Freedom costs a buck 'o five
