Thought of the Day

Stance on Syria.
The MP had to make a tough decision, one that she and the others will have to standby.
What decision would I make? To help me I wrote this poem.

I saw a young soldier on tele today
He was run down and butchered, he died the same day.
On tele a boys body was carried from the sea to the shore
His goal was freedom his life is no more.

Freedom is cheap, we can all afford
From the rich and the poor it's the same, here and abroad.
No black Friday bargains or January sales
No vat or tax, open to male and females.
Whats the cost, of the this trouble and strife?
It won't cost a penny only a life.
So

Should I stand in the road with my brother?
Should I jump in the boat with my son?
Or do I shut my eyes, turn my back and wait till the fighting is done.?

and Milton friedman quotes:

The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither
The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great
deal of both.
