Here's a hint. Freedom has absolutely nothing to do with telling someone else what they cannot do. Period. Freedom is about not being told what to do. Absolute freedom is no virtue (as under absolute freedom, we could murder, rape, and pillage to our satisfaction, without consequence... and be murdered, raped, or pillaged with no consequence; it's hardly a desirable state of living). But to claim that they want "religious freedom" but mean they want to make everyone else shut up and hide their religion is repugnant.<br /><br />And also, AVI is totally correct. The louder someone screams about their virtue, the less likely it is that they actually possess it. After all, what do countries with "Democratic" or "People's" in their nation's names all have in common? The answer is, obviously, that they're oppressive dictatorships. See North Korea, East Germany, China, Laos, etc. Where you <b>really</b> need to be afraid is when you see them start piling them on (the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, for example).<br /><br />https://petervojtek.github.io/diy/2015/05/19/countries-with-democracy-in-name.htmlMikeDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116809134355184859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-87181154049881931692015-09-27T19:54:22.177-04:002015-09-27T19:54:22.177-04:00From the link:

A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods (as revealed by an omen, for example) with little of the idea of right."<br /><br />I did not know that "Themis" means "due process." This fits with something I learned as a kid.<br /><br />The patron saint of the USA is the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as the Divine Advocate. I always got a kick out of that: Mother Mary is the patron saint of the US and lawyers. <br /><br />ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-1528424232592104072015-09-27T19:37:41.743-04:002015-09-27T19:37:41.743-04:00Yep.
