Has the Cost of Freedom Gone Up or Down?

Church and State has a wonderful post up called Comparing The Price Of Freedom

I feel the need to re-focus our attention to a little word called "Context."We are all aware the America's media makes it day on taking most stories out of context, but if we don't return to what we know, then we all tend to believe a bit of it uurselves. Specifically, I am referring to the mainstream media's shamefully one-dimensional and non-instructive account when reporting American deaths in the war in Iraq. (Read it all)


For anyone that doesn't get it yet, Freedom isn't free but right now the cost of freedom is pretty damn cheap. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying at all that the loss of life isn't something that we should ignore, for everyone one fo those Service Members has paid a price for freedom that many in this country would consider for too expensive for themselves to even be in a position to pay it. But for you ninnies out there claiming that its a quagmire and that no good can come of it, I suggest you start evaluating your worth in this society and get your head out of your ass.
