Feedback: Freedom has never been absolute Carol Goodin Parker remembers never being able to go to Circle R because smoke would have set off asthma attack. Says freedoms for which Founding Fathers fought were for white Anglo-Saxon Protestant men. Amendments were necessary to extend those same freedoms to others To ColumbiaMagazine.com I've read with interest the discussions concerning the possibility of a smoking ban in public facilities in Adair County. As a retired U.S. History and American government teacher. I remind your readers that freedom in our nation has never been absolute. As I always reminded my students, "My rights end where yours begin." I have the right to drive an automobile, but I have to get a license, keep my vehicle insured, etc. I have the right to yell "Fire!" as I sit here at my computer, but not in a crowded theatre. The examples could go on and on. The freedoms for which our Founding Fathers fought were mainly for whilte Anglo-Saxon Protestant men. Several amendments have been added to our U.S. Constitution extending that same freedom to many of the rest of us. So we have never been free to do all the things we might enjoy doing. For example, I always heard how wonderful the food was at Circle R, but because I have asthma that causes me to have a severe attack when I breathe any type of smoke, I could not enjoy the experience of eating there. Most laws that have been passed in our history have offended someone. Thank you, Carol Goodin Parker This story was posted on 2008-05-04 19:30:55
