Revisions

Well I am back sorry for the long absence, But I have been busy with family stuff. Which brings me to what I want to post about today. I have been visiting family the last couple of weeks, and when families get together they discuss many things one thing they talked about maybe two or three time was that a new law had passed that made it illegal to sag your pants. The older members of my family were all in support of this. I Said nothing just listened to what they had to say, but the second time I had to speak out. I said "I don't like this law it is violating their first amendment rights, they can wear what ever they like. I got quick responses like I don't want to see it, or what if they try to get a job they can't wear that. We debated this for about two-three minutes then I gave up. See I do not sag my pants it looks stupid, and they are right you want get a job dressed that way, but to make it a law where you can't where your cloths the way you want is way more than the first step down that path I fear that this country is going down. What if someone made a law where you had to have your hair cut a certain way. No one would like that. I ask you how is this law any different? I tried to get them to understand my point. It was futile my mother and my aunt came to my side and that was it. I am not asking you to like it just to protect the rights of others. So through this I have a revised view of what some americans thinks of freedom. They think that freedom is the ability to do as they please and for everyone else also, as long as it fit in to their view od right and wrong. This is why we have so much division in this nation we all have different views on freedom. Freedom is the ability to do as you please as long as it does not violate anyone elses freedom. So I also now know that despite what many black people are registered as(dem) they are really conservatives at heart. so they vote dem to help themselves out when in actuality they should be voting rep. It seems what I have stumble on develves deeper than what I first thougth
