That, would be obvious to anyone reading what I have posted on the issue.

A simple yes or no would have done the job.

Moons,...I guess he means me. I am emigrant and I have emigrant's perspective on Liberty. Such perspective is that emigrants understand very well what it means if you lose liberty or if you get born into life without one. It is hard to explain to people who got born into Liberty and never lived life without Liberty what Liberty is.
It is funny, since it is easy to understand what is Liberty if you do not have it but person often has a hard time to understand what Liberty is and it's value is if you live in it. I guess it is like air. It is easy to take it for grated if you have it, but if you lose it,.....
Without being bombastic I really mean it when I say to me liberty is the most important thing in my life. Just like air.

I know,
he still has problems with direct answers to simple questions.

I wonder how many thumbs down I'll get on my former post. 


by Two Moons on 24 April 2013 - 01:04
I wouldn't worry about it myself.
When you consider who's thumbs they are...LOL
Your right about the difference between being born here and immigrating here.

Very good description of your perspective, Hans.
Let me illustrate in another way that may give 'food' for thought: seven weeks ago I had to go to the emergency room because a bolis of food was stuck in my esophagus just above the stomach. I was going into shock because of the pressure on nerves surrounding the esophagus.
After being stabiliized, I was sent home. Unable to swallow food and very little water, six days later, back to ER, stabilized and sent home. Two more days, back to ER, lost ten pounds in eight days, admitted to hospital because of dehydration. This all started March 8th. Three days in the hospital on IVs, endoscopy, upper GI; no ulcers, ca, only stricture of esophagus above stomach. Doc stretched that. Put me on meds which I Had adverse reaction to and were slowly killing me because of allergic reaction. I stopped all meds, and can now drink water, Boost and baked sweet potato and soft scrambled egg. Three days ago I was able to eat, and swallow half a chicken thigh mushed up....first real food in over six weeks without it causing me to nearly collapse. It tasted like the best thing i'd ever eaten, and ordinarily, I'm not fan of chicken.
Moral of this is that every day things, like chewing and swallowing food for nourishment are taken for granted....when something happens and you can't swallow, even though your so hungry your ravenous, eating and having the sensation of food sliding into your stomach becomes as wonderful as life itself.
Appreciate the freedom to walk out your door and go to your planned destination without having to receive permission from a government Gestapo..
