Freedom

There is probably no one in the US who isn't aware today of the shooting in San Bernardino, CA yesterday.

That is the area I moved from.  I've driven those streets for 10 years.

It is a different feeling when the area is one you know.

But what is different in the years both there and since I have left is what we don't know.  I can't look or listen to any information and wonder what is real and what is manipulation.

And the following rhetoric that comes from every event like this - more restriction, more control, more limitations.

Everything that makes me cringe and want to run away from it all.  But all I can do is remember what I do want, no matter what is happening in the world and around me.  

I want Freedom. (PERIOD)
