Somebody Give Me A Cheeseburger

What does freedom mean to you?

Preferably a Vegan Cheese Burger

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. -Albert Camus

Freedom is not the biggest and mightiest military in the world when we have poverty in the streets.

Freedom is not the ability to criticize those in power when they are corrupt and ill guided. That is you responsibility.

Blazers Win

Years ago I was a season ticket holder for the Portland Trail Blazers. When they scored over a hundred points you would get a free Taco Bell Chalupa. We used to be free to give them to the homeless. They made the give away digital. And Freedom for some.

“Tame birds sing of freedom. Wild birds fly.”

Favorite T Shirt

Wearing your favorite t-shirt, is an act of freedom. According to George Orwell freedom is the ability to make a mistake. In article two, section 73 in the doctrine of marriage you are not free to wear your favorite t shirt whenever you damn well please. This is where democracy comes into the equation.

Certain T shirts just feel great and give one a certain latitude and freedom of movement.

Ultimate Freedom

The current regime in the Unites States is all about limiting freedoms. I will touch on one area here

1. Freedom of Speech and Press

  • Targeting Journalists: There have been reports of unprecedented arrests and indictments of independent journalists for reporting live from protests.
  • Surveillance of Dissent: The administration has reportedly expanded the use of facial recognition and private geolocation data to monitor protestors, particularly those involved in activism for Palestinian rights.
  • First Amendment Crackdowns: Organizations like Amnesty International have cited attacks on the right to peaceful assembly, specifically targeting non-citizen students with threats of detention and deportation for exercising their speech rights. Amnesty International +3

The biggest freedom I want right now is to make this all go away. I want him and his regime to disappear.

In simple terms.

Freedom means many things to many people. Somebody Give Me A Cheeseburger is a cheesy lyric from a song titled “Living in The USA”. By Steve Miller. He was not known for his lyrics. In a free society you are free to listen to this song whenever you are able. But please don’t play it without head phones.

And my favorite speech on Freedom

America is Not The Greatest Country in The World anymore

    This is a bold, reflective, and deeply personal meditation on freedom. ✨

    What makes the piece compelling is the way you move between philosophy, politics, memory, music, sports culture, and ordinary daily life to show that freedom is not just an abstract ideal — it lives in small human experiences as much as in public debate.

    I especially appreciated the contrast between symbolic freedoms and practical realities: homelessness beside wealth, digital restrictions replacing simple generosity, and the idea that freedom also includes responsibility, dissent, and even the right to make mistakes. The references to Camus, Orwell, and the “wild birds fly” quote add thoughtful layers to the reflection.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
