A recent article titled “When You’re Talking You Ain’t Learning,” How Do You Define Freedom, Issue 722, seems to have stirred the intellectual nettle of some of my readers, and any discussion about Freedom deserves more attention.
I have written many articles relative to the meaning of Freedom, and for myself accept the definition, “Freedom is self-responsibility and self-control, no more and no less than just that.” A definition which covers a multitude of areas, relative to just about everything we do and think. It’s not the definition that’s being questioned, instead, it’s where the understanding of it comes from.

It was the Texas senator, Sam Rayburn, who said, “When you’re talking you ain’t learning.” Ain’t that the Truth?
In the past week I’ve had occasion to listen to three different persons on three different subjects that appear to have totally different opinions, than I. The three subjects were, Religion, Alcoholism, and Freedom. All three sent me to the dictionary, (I think I have a dozen), and most express interpretations of words differently.

A glorious Sunday afternoon yesterday, when around one hundred special invited guests gathered at the Metropolitan Club on Windward Parkway in Alpharetta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, for a special performance piano recital by my granddaughter, Isabella.
Bella is 14 years old and has been playing the piano for ten years. She has participated in Junior Festival six times with six consecutive performances for solo performances and five consecutive superiors for duets. Currently under the direction of Mr. Jim Drennon, who was master of ceremonies yesterday, Bella is already teaching other students.

Rarely have we heard a call to the police from a stalker, describing events just before killing his victim, as reported on the news in the Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case. It was a first in my memory.
A 28-year old neighborhood watchman, describing a situation as it happened, following a 17 year old in his neighborhood on a cold rainy Florida night, then hearing cries for “help” just before the shot was fired that killed the 17 year old, was an eerie recording of events, particularly when the person on the other end of the phone advised Zimmerman to stop following the young man.
