"We hold in our hands, the most precious gift of all: Freedom. The freedom to express our art. Our love. The freedom to be who we want to be. We are not going to give that freedom away and no one shall take it from us!" -Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

Freedom...how come most of us only think about it when it has been taken from us? I thought about that this afternoon when I was doing the dishes at work (excellent time to brainstorm about life...hanging above dirty plates). So I decided to come up with a little freedom themed contest.

Freedom can be many things...you can be free to say what you want, free to do what you want, free to be what you want. It's up to you to give meaning to this word. Freedom can be found in the little things in life, like walking your dog without an army breathing down your neck.
