You Cannot 'See' Freedom
by Ron Ewart, President National Association of Rural Landowners © Copyright December 24, 2007 - All Rights Reserved

Take a moment and close your eyes. Now imagine what your life would be like if you could not see. The Christmas tree, the smile of joy on your children's faces when they open their presents, or a tender look from your spouse that holds a world of meaning. These would not be part of your sightless world. You could not see the sky, or the trees, or the flowers, or the snow on the mountains, close up or far away. You could not see the ocean, or a river, or a lake, a waterfall, or a desert, or the wind rustling leaves on a tree, or children playing. You could not read a good book, split wood, build a house, watch television, or drive a car, ride a bicycle, or go skiing, sailing, or snomobiling, or so many other things we take for granted that the miracle of sight brings us. In fact, your life would come with a set of chains that would take a way a portion of your freedom, the freedom of sight. If we had a choice to lose any of our five senses, most of us would choose to lose sight last. But there is one other very real part of our world we should cherish and choose not to lose, even above any of the five senses, or an arm, or a leg. That very real part of our lives in America is the freedom of "choice". The freedom to choose to do what you want, just as long it does not hurt anyone else. That includes the freedom of movement, the freedom of what to buy, the freedom to spend your hard earned money as you see fit, the freedom of what to wear, the freedom of where to live, the freedom of where to work and the kind of work you want to do, the freedom to live on and use your property without undue government restriction and the freedom to roam freely throughout America without having to go through check points and body searches. Unfortunately, we cannot see, feel, touch, smell or taste the freedom of choice, we can only experience it. We either have it or we don't. The freedom of choice is painfully fragile. It can be taken away from us extremely easily, especially when we are not paying attention. Just imagine that the joy that a child's innocence brings to each of us this time of year, is replaced with, well let's just say, nothing. Or imagine that it was taken away by force, or by a law that would be enforced by government. Imagine a government that would have Christmas police roaming the streets looking for Christmas trees and colored lights, or a nativity scene, or a Menorah, or all the other things that this time of year means to our culture and then fine you or send you to jail for the violation. You'd have to break the law, if you wanted to celebrate Christmas. But you don't have to imagine it, because this very thing is happening in other countries, but it isn't necessarily Christmas the police are taking away. It is the right of choice they are taking away. The right to wear what you want, within reason. The right to move about freely. The right of free speech. The right to be free of police search and seizures without a proper warrant, with probably cause, signed by a judge. The right to worship as you see fit. The right to bear arms so that government won't be so anxious to reach in and remove your freedoms for fear that you might strike back if they do. The right to privacy without government peering into your lives with surveillance cameras, listening devices, data bases and the like. The right to use your land the way you want, with the full protection of the 5th Amendment that requires due process and just compensation should they choose to take it from you. Today and tomorrow as you enjoy and breath in the wonder that is the Christmas holiday, try to imagine how you would feel if it was taken away. You cannot see the spirit of Christmas but it is there, nevertheless. You cannot see love, but love is in abundance in families. Without that love, families would disintegrate quickly. But without the freedom of choice, liberty disintegrates very rapidly and it is disintegrating before our very eyes, while we are not paying attention. Most of us would not give up the spirit of Christmas, that we cannot see. Why then would we so easily and carelessly give up freedom that we also cannot see, but provides the very environment that allows us to experience the spirit of Christmas, the spirit of love, the spirit of compassion, the spirit of giving and the miracle of family? Why indeed! Again, we would like to wish each of you and your families a very special Christmas and a New Year, where freedom and liberty are cherished and defended, as we cherish and would vigorously defend the right to celebrate the spirit of Christmas as we choose.
