I think the key to much of our problems these days lies in one of your points, precisely that the freedoms are worthless without a collective sense of community and responsibility. I have wandered far enough down the paths of the Transition movement and other community building movements to believe that this is our societies' only way to get gracefully and healthily out of the mess we are in and even then it probably won't be pretty! Thanks again for your thoughts.R.

My mother, knew many of the folks Rockwell pulled to be in some of his works. He was a fixture in her area of southern Vermont when she was growing up. Every time she's here she pours over a collection of Rockwell prints in a tome of his work down at a local used bookstore. I suppose I should buy it and surprise her with it. <br />As to freedoms, simply taken in their simplest forms yes, they are evolving. They were as is said, different times. People have changed and frankly a certain sense of pride in our country has changed making these freedoms as they were related in that time and place different. I think in many respects we have more freedom in certain areas and less in others. I think the 4 freedoms are worthless without a collective sense of community and responsibility on how to abide by them in spirit. So if they are endangered we have in a sense done it to ourselves.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.com
