Freedom

>>I felt that I now understood the new regime: absolute freedom..except that any official from dogcatcher to supreme potentate could give any orders whatever to any private citizen at any time. So it was "freedom" as defined by Orwell and Kafka, "freedom" as granted by Stalin and Hitler, "freedom" to pace back and forth in your cage.<<

Excerpt taken from "The cat who walks through walls" by Robert A. Heinlein. It sums up rather well what this world is coming to: we are free within the ever tighter becoming bounderies the governments lay upon us."War on communism"; "war on drugs" and "war on terror" seem nothing more than excuses to gain further control of decent law-abiding citizens.

When will we, the people, regain power and take back control over our lives again?
Perhaps my grandchildren will live to tell of the days people lived in made-up freedom and be truly free. Like dolphins are free, only bound by the laws of nature.

Eva

Today my daughter Eva turned five. Reason for celebrations, fun, presents and laughter. Nothing beats the sound of young children having fun...not even the sound of a German tourist screaming in agony when you show him a torture-instrument...

As you may have guessed I've got a new job. I'm now officially an actor working for The Amsterdam Dungeon.
We won't officially open till the 16th and the Grand Openinge will take place the 31st of october: Halloween!

Ferdinand had his first official geography-test in school today and yesterday he started working as volunteer in a third world-shop near our home, selling goods that are benificial to the manufacturer and not all the salespeople between them and the consumer. Good job!

Not from everyone you can state he or she is doing a good job. Take Senator William Bennett who lost his job after he suggested the crimerate in America could be lowered would there be less black people. Well, less senators would say things that hurt people if you would hang 'em on a hook by the base of their skull...
