“Shush! Have you heard the word called FREE?”
“Do you know what the word free means?”
“It’s a magical word that was given. This is what free means. Free means without charge!”
“Does that mean free?”
“A very beautiful thing you see. It’s a free country said when asserting that the course of it is not illegal or forbidden, often in justification of it. A free ride a situation in which someone benefits without having to make a fair contribution. He was always free with his money.”
“Free is great, what a wonderful state.”
“This is the real state of mind!”
“Human nature!”
“Not subject to or affected by. Membership is free of charge. Free your mind and body of the excess tension, make free. Make free from captivity, confinement, slavery, physical obstruction, impeded, restraint, or entanglement. Not under the control or in the power of another, able to act or do as you wish.”
“It really does sound great, that word call Free. I wonder what that is, to be really free!”
“As free as a bird sat in a tree!”
“Is that what it is to be free?”
“Does your constitution have the word Free? Don’t be confused by the word liberty and what do the two words really mean? If it applies, do you feel free? Or is it a pack of lies!”
“There is no such word called free.”
