A Price Worth Paying?

A Price Worth Paying?

What is the value of freedom? Throughout history it has been an ideal that wars have been fought over. A concept so important that our ancestors were willing to suffer and lay down their lives to protect it.

But to my dismay, it has become increasingly obvious over the past year that the general public does not share this principle. Out …
