Today is part of a three day weekend in America, Memorial Day.
A day for those who have made the greatest sacrifices so that we may be free.
This sums it up pretty nicely Pearls

Free?
You've heard of DARPA, right? And you've read the fine print regarding the Total Information Awarness project and the Homelands Security Bill and the Patriot Act and...
You are free to do as they tell you!

you fail to realize, the concept of freedom is all subjective...

Respect for everyone who has died so I could live a good life today... whether it went over as well as they hoped, they still gave there lives to make this a better country, and I'll probably never know what that's like.

I'm not "slagging off" veterens of conflicts past, I'm questioning yours and others notions of freedom.
Are we free? Do you really think wars have ever been fought for freedom?
Given all the shit going down with DARPA, TIA, HSB, Patriot act, etc., etc
What makes us freer than, say, those behind the former Iron Curtain?
Sure, we have more choice of consumer items on the shelves of your local store... but does that constitute freedom?

We (UK/USA) are, comparatively speaking, realtively free. People dies so that we could be. We would be less free had they not died for us...

Please, let's not turn this into a slagging match... if people want to commemorate memorial/rememberance day, let them. They're "free" to, remember?
