Back from a chore

That's why there's so little time.  Stuff that can't be done on a workday, has to be done on a weekend.  So, I just ran a chore.  Had to be done.

Anyway, on the way to the chore, I ran into a guy in the neighborhood who is from Iran.  He told me that if you wanted to sing a song in Iran, you have to get it approved by the authorities.  He went on to say that if it weren't for the government there, Iran would be one of the best places in the world to live.

Clearly, he left Iran because of its government.

That the government there cracks down on immorality, was my impression of that conversation.  You won't see a Miley Cyrus in Iran, for example.  That may not be so bad.  But there is two sides to that coin.  Smart people are leaving Iran for places like the United States because of their government.

So, what are people to do?  You get people who take advantage of the freedom and corrupt the morals of the youth.  Then a revolution occurs that puts people in charge like those in Iran.  You go from one extreme to another.

With freedom comes responsibility.  It seems that that are those who think that freedom means irresponsibility.  But that is how you lose your freedom.
