Free Travel In Out Country
Rick Hughes 11-09

TODAY, I CONFESS, MY WIFE AND I WENT TO COLUMBUS OHIO . WE ARE STAYING RIGHT DOWNTOWN WHERE WE CAN WALK TO ALL THE PLEASURE PLACES. IT IS ENORMOUS FUN, THIS IS TRULY A GREAT GREAT COUNTRY BECAUSE IT IS A FREE COUNTRY. WE DID NOT HAVE TO TELL ANY POLITICAL AUTHORITY WE WERE LEAVING, I DID NOT HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION FROM ANY BUREAUCRAT TO GO. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND MY NEIGHBORS DID NOT REPORT ME TO A LOCAL ENERGY ENFORCER ALLEGING I HAD USED TOO MUCH GAS THIS MONTH. I DROVE A BIG GAS GUZZLING BLACK CADY RIGHT DOWN THAT ROAD, NO ONE STOPPED ME AND SAID YOUR CAR IS TOO LARGE, TOO WASTEFUL, TOO INDIVIDUALISTIC, GET IT OFF THE ROAD. WE CAN BUY OUR OWN FOOD HERE IN COLUMBUS, WE DID NOT HAVE TO CHECK INTO OR NOTIFY THE AUTHORITIES HERE IN COLUMBUS FOR OUR FOOD OR GAS QUOTA IN COLUMBUS. I WANT TO THANK GOD AND ALL OF OUR ANCESTORS WHO LIVED, FOUGHT. AND DIED FOR OUR LIBERTIES, THEY ARE OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSETS. LETS ALWAYS KEEP THEM.
