DEMOCRACY, INDEPENDENCE and LIBERTY

Freedom is the very essence of our democracy. The state of being FREE rather than in confinement or under physical restraint, exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etcetera. Personal liberty as opposed to bondage, dictatorship or slavery, exemption from ties and obligation.

Governments are put in place to serve the needs of the people and ensure that their basic inalienable and undeniable rights are protected. Among these are, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with the aid of almighty God, and in order to build a just and honest society that shall embody the peoples ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop the patrimony of the nation, and secure to the people and their posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace...(FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN IN IRAN FOR DEMOCRACY, LET THIS BE KNOWN TO ALL MEN THAT THEIR LIVES HAVE NOT BEEN IN VAIN, THEY HAVE SPOKEN AND HEARD, THEY HAVE SHOWN HOW COSTLY DEMOCRACY IS. WE WHO ARE THE LIVING, KNOW WHAT TO DO! THIS WOULD BE LONG AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS FOR US KEEPING VIGIL. MAY THE DEMOCRATIC POWER BE WITH YOU ALL.)

I find it hard to understand why some leaders (maybe in the middle of their midlife crisis) are insisting to oppose some of the less fortunate people's choice to pursue their own little happiness by way of legally betting pick 3 lotto with the purpose of finding a glimmer of hope there. - ( one sure thing that I'm sure of whenever there is evidence confusion is the presence of Free Radicals in the body. ANTIOXIDANTS can take care of that - no problem!

It can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and enable malnuorished mothers to nurse their starving baby. Ounce for ounce, it has the calcium of four glasses of milk, the vitamin C of seven oranges and the potassium of three bananas.

"A dash of Moringa can make dirty water potable. Doctors use it to treat diabetes in West Africa and hypertension in India. Not only it can staunch a skin infection, but moringa also makes excellent fuel and fertilizer."

"It has triple the iron of spinach and more impressive attributes than OLIVE OIL. Both Moringa and the common carrots are diamonds in the roughage department, but Moringa has quadruple the beta carotene, though its green, which is good for the eyes and effective against cancer."
