Thankfully Remembering


In this month of Thanksgiving and Remembrance, The Lovely Siren and I were reflecting on our gratitude that we live in an area of the world where we can be on a sex site. With all it's rather obvious flaws, and all the rather vocal anger they seem to incessantly provoke, at least we are not kept by an authoritarian regime from visiting a naughty place such as this, flawed or not..

While some might argue that some of these more fundamental rights may be threatened, we prefer to believe that because we live in a democratic society, mostly made up of good people, there will always be room for Freedom of Choice.
Our world has progressed to a point where even the most repressive government would be matched by a vibrant opposition, allowing almost all decisions to be forced into the bold light of day. In circumstances such as that, censorship and disenfranchisement are rarely successful, and because of this, rarely attempted.

And, as we've seen even here on the site, bad decisions are met with the roar of the general populace. Because we have the freedom to protest, erroneous edicts are often revised, or removed. People in charge like one thing more than any other, and that is to remain in charge. There is little chance of that if the people you preside over are in total opposition to your plans and decrees.
( Having NO free cams, for instance?? )

SO... Please take a moment to Remember and be Thankful that we are living in a part of the globe where having sexual idiosyncrasies is not looked upon as being criminal. While not everyone in our sphere of acquaintances either understands or agrees with our Lifestyle choices, neither do they have the right to condemn us for them publicly. We may exist in a shadowy subculture, but there is still a spirit of "Live and Let Live" hereabouts, at least in any regulatory sense.
And that is indeed a good thing, and one worth fighting for.

One thing I've noticed with all the recent protests is that these people seem to be able to quite easily take for granted their freedom to protest - but forget that in a democratic society, every one has the right to vote as they see fit.

That is is one of the most important things their Freedom provides.

Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.
