1/15

ust a little food for thought for the next time you are sailing thorugh the waters of the world wide web...

what are you giving your life for?

freedom is not free. in the united states, and throughout the world, people havesacrificed lives for the freedom of future generations

the online world is like this vast new territory, a worldwhere who you are in 'real life' does not necessarily hold you

back from living the virtual life that you always wanted tolive...

however, one can get lost in this brave new world, andliving on the edge, sometimes takes you over the edge, where

the real world and digital collide..


5/15

you want to be judged by the content of cebook? are you more than what is on ur facebook page?

that does not mean constantly looking over your shoulder... however, be mindful of the fact that what you post online today could be

read in the future by unintended audiences... just keep in mind that what you put online is potentially there forever... once something is 'out' on the world wide web, it can take on a life of its

own, beyond what you can control...

not saying that judging people based on limitedinformation is right,

however, it is reality... and the more things change, the more they stay the

same...

the struggles between the individual and the collective,

rights and responsibilities, authority and democracy,

free will and law..these struggles are as old as civilization

in fact, these struggles are what gave birth to our nation...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure

these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their

Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments longestablished should not be changed for light and transient causes; and

accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to

suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishingthe forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably thesame Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is

their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of

Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the

establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

the revolution couldhave been a failure

monarchsassumed that they

had a god-given

right to beroyal!

revolutionaries turned that

assumption onits head!

our nation needed astrong foundation fromwhich to build the unitedstates into a world

power, a charter that would unify individualstrengths and libertiesinto collectivestrength...so in 1787 the

continental congress drafted the constitution of the united states, andbegan the process of

ratification...


11/15

article v: Amendements

article VII: ratification

constitution of the united states is what defines us as a country. we are thenstitution of the united states, it is our national identity, and the foundation

of our government, law, and existence.

article VI: federal power

freedom must be secured, guarded, and defended. freedom is not a free-for all...our liberties are defined by our actions.

when we cheapen freedom by taking its liberty, without also assuming theresponsibility for that freedom, the cause of freedom is jeopardized - it makes it easier to justify prohibiting liberty for the cause of security, andin doing so, the rights and liberties that revolutionaries fought and diedfor are put at risk.

Freedom is the defining characteristic of our national identity. Our nation was born so that its people could live free. the price of freedom isresponsibility for it.

Brave men and women have fought and died so that their children could

speak without fear, and chart their own course through life.

so when you post online, post in a way that acknowledges that freedomand responsibility go hand-iin-hand.

those who wouldgive up Essential Liberty

to purchase a little Temporary Safety,

deserve neitherLiberty nor Safety..

we have the freedom to build our own identity, and to make our own choices, in life and online. but in life, and online: ""We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we

pretend to be" (Vonnegut, Jr., 1961, Kindle location 35).
