I just had a quick comment: I'm not sure how I feel about being bought by religious freedom. Can you expound on that point?

religious freedom has got to be considered as one of the driving forces behind the initial voyages to this place. since the early days of inhabitance, freedom has been the go-to-icon for america. what started out as religious freedom evolved into intellectual freedom in a modern day. freedom to choose your occupation, freedom to present an opposing opinion, freedom to choose your site of living. this being the essence of acting according to the dictates of your own conscience. do what you feel is best for you, your people, your surroundings. acting freely to enrich the system of which you are apart. what started out as religous freedom has morphed into a broader interpretation of freedom, but in the end, as you seek to enrich your space with the purpose to leave a lasting consequence, you are essentially exercising your religious freedom. thus what began as religious freedom, in fact, circumferentially returns (after experiencing the results of modern molding/interpretation) as expressions/actions/consequences of the very religious freedom from whence it sprung.

my apologies. its raises a brow to have a comment longer than an original post. forgive the verbosity...

um....not only was your comment long, it also had a lot of /'s in it. i think i'm impressed with that amount of /'s. good job. get back here to the city where life is good and the weather is not.

i agree. nothing says indecision or un-anticipated thought like a vivd splashing of /. or even \. whatever your preference in processing happens to be/not be\or could be.
