I've been using these for months, and they're great, work like a charm.

However hanging back here for a few days I've been getting real interested in a rba to futz around with, even if I don't win I'll prolly end up getting one when I get paid.
Only fishing I do lately is my aquariums, but kinda seems like fly tying, I need a new hobby like that.

Freedom means being able to be able to do what makes you happy, as long as it doesn't infringe on others happiness

This is pretty much my philosophy for life.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

To fully appreciate the freedoms you have, just think about those living under oppression.

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed — else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Freedom means knowing I am not stuck in any situation that I have the power to be able to create exactly what I want in my own life.

Freedom. I probably can't give you an answer without sounding military.
Because that's what it starts with, men and women willing to sacrifice.It is being able to speak and do without fear. Complacency should not be synonymous with freedom.Men and women have died throughout the centuries fighting for these rights and freedoms yet some feel they need to infringe and impose "their" way of how things should be done,when to and the way to do them.They always call it a democracy,but they either wrong or are wishful thinking.

We are a republic.In a republic the group only has advisory powers; the sovereign individual is free to reject the majority group.In a democracy, 51% beats 49%. In other words, the minority has no rights. The minority only has those privileges granted by the dictatorship of the majority. In the Pledge of Allegiance we all pledge allegiance to our Republic, not to a democracy. "Republic" is the proper description of our government, not "democracy."A republic and a democracy are identical in every aspect except one. In a republic the sovereignty is in each individual person. In a democracy the sovereignty is in the group.Well that's my take on freedom and why many mistake us for a democracy.

This is so true
