Freedom is a funny beast. When you have it, it's sun-on-your-face fantastic. When you don't, you're bustin' ass trying to get it back.

When I was a kid I was afraid of the word freedom. I thought it meant rednecks and American flags and sending teenage boys to war. I didn't really know what freedom meant.

I wouldn't, really, for another few decades.

Eventually I learned that freedom is more than just being able to walk around naked in your apartment. It's more than speech and religion and it's even more than the right to vote.

You grab it by the mane and hold on as tight as you can for as long as you can because it's one hell of a wild ride and you don't want to miss a thing.

And then when it's over you can go back to work, go back to waiting for the next ride to come your way.
