Pana asked me to start a thread on Freedom..

[Pana]

Did I tell you my tail is named irony?

Now that's the best name for a tail that I have heard in years.

[Pam]

Did I tell you my tail is named irony?

Good thing my dinner is ready.

Keep him at bay Pana, you are on your own now my friend

[Dr Exile]

What a drag, OK, I give up. Angus, let the party poopers have their ice cream.

[Pana]

Yay! A big wet smooch for the Martian! Tasting like ice cream! And for Angus. (But not for Irony).



I'm off too. Had fun, ME. Big hug at ya.

[Dr Exile]

It was a hoot, I'm going to eat a watermelon I picked from our garden now.

[Pana]

Enjoy.

I'm picking beets, carrots, swiss chard, peas and tomatoes each day now. No watermelon though. Season is too short here. But I wish!

[Dr Exile]

Almost all I eat except dead animals has come from the garden, lost 40 pounds eating that way so far.

Does it always have to be the case that any discussion of freedom devolve into a series of anecdotes and pettings and unserious, sanctimonious nonsense? It's probably my own fault for not insisting on definition as a point of departure. If I were to start this thread over I'd begin with the definition proposed by Dr Joplin, "Freedom's just another word for nuthin left to lose." Even Sartre, who devoted his entire life and several long and complicated books to the enquiry, never put it better than those simple words.

[Pam]

There was nobody here to keep us in line, this is what happens when you give people a little freedom.

[lkwalker]

It's called, 'short attention span.'. Freedom is something else.
