define freedom.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
the people of Ukraine understand freedom--"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". they may understand better than any other country in the world what freedom means. They're fighting for it against overwhelming odds. They would rather die than to live under tyranny.
does freedom mean getting someone else to fight for your freedom? no. freedom isn't free. If you want to be free, then you must fight for your own freedom.
does freedom guarantee a free education? no. freedom allows you to choose to be educated--or not. Being educated requires expense, work and sacrifice for those who choose to be educated--except perhaps for those born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
does freedom guarantee citizenship? it does if you're born in the USA. it doesn't if you're an immigrant. legal immigration and citizenship require expense, work and sacrifice--except perhaps for those born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
choose wisely.
those who were born in the USA should thank their Creator for their freedom. freedom isn't free. don't take your freedom for granted.
