Where Has Freedom Gone?

Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun,

they sit in the corner and wait.

Two souvenirs of the Second World War

that have withstood the time and the hate.





Many times I've wanted to ask them,

and now that we're here all alone,

Relics all three of a long ago war,

"Where has freedom gone?"





Mute witness to a time of much trouble,

where kill or be killed was the law.

Were these implements used with high honor?

What was the glory they saw?





"Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle,

let it soar with the high winds above.

Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping,

guard it with care and with love."





I salute my old friends in the corner,

I agree with all they have said,

And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,

I'll be free, or by God, I'll be dead.

CRIME IN JAPAN




crime in 2004 Peter Hessler wrote in The New Yorker: Japan is not a dangerous country. Each year, approximately one murder is committed for every two hundred thousand people. This is among the lowest rates in the world, on a par with Iceland and Switzerland; the odds of being murdered in the United States are ten times higher. In Japan, it's a crime to own a gun, another crime to own a bullet, and a third crime to pull the trigger: three charges before you even think about a target.

Psychology 101

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs.To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the "team".

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates... and this is why, from time to time:

ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.
