I am liberated FROM government interference in my medical care.

Twice I was coerced into the government medical care system by the threat of loosing my children if I didn't apply and accept their care. My family, in their concern over my brain tumors supported the government interference. Twice I was 'forced' to undergo 12+ hours of surgery that did nothing but prolong the problem and add unimaginable pain in my life.

Even though the above was coerced upon me, I have continued to speak against government interference in my life and in other's lives.

My youngest 2 children, now 21 and 15, and my oldest child, now 26, have witnessed my refusal to lay down and consent to having my life dictated by government bureaucrats and stand by my side backing up my refusal to consent to bureaucratic over medication that serves no purpose.

I am a functional producer in society with minor deformities caused by tumors doctors could not fully excise. I have voluntarily given up freedoms in which I pose a danger to society. I no longer drive because I have impaired vision due to tumor growth near my optical nerve. I don't provide sole care for my grandchildren due to the danger of seizures.

I refuse the medication because the medications I was prescribed left me lifeless and mindless. After stopping the medications and refusing medical care, I was able to continue to run my own business for two and a half years until my sight became a danger.

I currently help homeschool my grandchildren and do freelance work from my computer to support myself and my youngest daughter.

This is called being personally responsible for your life and your actions.

I am liberated. I am a producer. I am an artist. I am a parent. I am a grandparent. I live the life God has given me to the fullest extent possible. I give to the charities in which I believe. I do not partake in any part of the statist mindset. My experiences have helped me pass this on to 3 of my 5 children.

Besides converting my other 2 children away from the statist mindset, my only goal in life I haven't achieved is finding a real "Galt's Gulch" where my children and grandchildren can live a free and productive life.

Yes, being a serf is freedom: freedom from responsibility, freedom from self-sufficiency, freedom from living.

Doubtful...home schooled children are now subject to State "inspections" of the home to see that it is conducive to the well being of the child. "The children belong to all of us", now.

The press in the US is not free. It is owned by corporations that owe their existence to at least one government agency. To be part of that you must recite the company mantra: Government is good, freedom is bad for government.

In the novel I'm currently reading, the protagonist has been captured and is to be sold as a slave. As the slave carts are driven into the town this is what he hears:

"I am the Babchenko, the Voice of the King and the First Acuna. Whatever life you had before this day, it has ended. From this point forward, you will have the privilege and absolute security of serving the Andalian Empire.

"You no longer need to fear going hungry. You will never heave to sleep in the cold again. All of your needs will be provided for by the generosity of the King. You need not fret or worry over the future because you no longer bear the burden of responsibility for your life. The King will carry that weight for you. You are free."

"So many misguided souls make bad decisions-decisions that lead to ruin for themselves and their families. You no longer need to fear your own ignorance for you will be guided by the infinite wisdom and benevolence of the King........."

Will home schooling be our salvation?

So, let me get this straight. According to Pelosi, this will free up musicians, etc,. to quit their jobs to pursue their interests? Doesn't this mean we who keep our jobs get to subsidize someone who prefers to bang on a damn drum or spray graffiti on railcars?

The two Times (New York and L.A.) have the right approach. Pretend the bad news doesn't exist and it will go away. Millions of jobs lost, The people are liberated.
Those "journalists" have lost their minds. They should hire someone to go find them or at the very least keep them from looking like complete blithering idiots.
If this country depends upon a free press and an intelligent press (which it does) we could be in for a long rough road the next few years.
