Land of the free

America. Land of the free. Free to destroy the economy with no personal consequences. Free to use drugs in affluent white neighborhoods with no consequences. Free to abuse your body with expectations of government health care. Free to have a gun with no consequences if a child gets hold of it. Free to run up big credit card bills and mortgages on big houses and expect to be bailed out.

You get the idea. Freedom with no accountability.

But aren't we also free to act with integrity. To assume responsibility for our choices. To act for the common good. How much do we talk about that in the land of the free?
