Sharing Toys & Getting Along

What's up with this crazy world? Almost everywhere I go, I am confronted by someone who clings to their rights to free speach and freedom of expression, yet those very same hipocrites, in the very same breath, try to suppress my rights, and those of others to do the same. Since when does Freedom only exist for a precious chosen few?

Obviously, in a free country, there will always be differences of oppinion because no two people are alike, so let's have a healthy debate about those issues and then move on. I don't care who you are, what your race, creed or politics are, if you have something to tell me, I'll listen because I value freedom, yours and mine! I may not agree with you, and you may not agree with me but does that make either one of us evil or unworthy? Of course not, it makes us human!

I'm certainly not advocating for the right of fanatical factions to spew hatred, destruction and intollerance of those who look different, act different, think different and believe different then them. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who supresses the rights and freedom of others, lose the right to cling to their own rights and freedoms. As they say, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander!"

I'm reminded of the carnal rule at my house while I was growing-up. It didn't matter who came into my yard to play, the rule was I had to share my toys, and I had to get along with them, even if I didn't invite them. That rule still sticks with me and no matter who comes into my life, I just want to share my toys and get along with them, even if they look different, think different or act different than me.
