Good to have you back this morning Ed.
You have certainly been busy lately and I hope you enjoy the Fourth of July Holiday weekend.
I have a great respect for the fourth estate.
Speaking of the Fourth of July, liberty, and freedom of speech reminded me of President Lincoln's speech at the Baltimore Sanitary Fair in 1864.
"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not mean the same thing. With some, the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other men's labor. Here are two not only different, but incompatable things, called by the same name, liberty. And it follows that each of the things is by the respective parties called by two different and incompatable names, liberty and tyranny."
This is echoed more succinctly in the folk saying, "Freedom to the shark is death to the minnows."
