Free lemmings!

Free lemmings from their personal obligation to run off a cliff.

It is something I learned in school that there are two types of freedom. There is the freedom from something and the freedom to do something.

Right now I am free from tyranny, free from leprosy and free from an inundation of capers. Right now I am free to blog, free to pray, free to speak and free to fart. It is too bad that some people aren't free to fart.

Freedom of religion and speech are very important factors of living in the Western World. I am pleased that I have these freedoms. Had I been born in one of those places where these freedoms are curtailed, would I have been educated enough to know what I was missing? Who knows.

Poor little lemmings. If we rolled them in chocolate icing and then dessicated coconut we could turn them into lemmingtons and eat them.
