Freedom is not FREE

The petty restraints put on women and minorities in our country's not so distant past and history, reminds me of all the struggle that has put us where we are today in our position of power and influence. We have defined what civil liberties are and though I don't agree with war and many of the decisions made for us by our ruling elite, we have done a lot of good for our world. We are so blessed to have had much of the fight for liberty done for us and now we stand so ignorant to the world at large. Many natural and man-made disasters lay forgotten by the masses as we care more for 'idol' and 'jerseylicious'. As the population of the species draws nearer and nearer to 7 billion, what will come of our pestilence and misuse of our resources?
