The horrors of freedom

The United States of America and it's occupants believe freedom to be very important. The mere title of the country is based on freedom. It is separate individual states who don't want to be controlled by other states beliefs, joining together to have a few laws in common and to help each other out. This is beautiful and an important part of the freedom of the country. The smaller the group making laws for themselves, the less likely their actions will be forced by other's beliefs. At this moment in history, this freedom has allowed a tragedy ironically targeted at freedom itself, to continue. A Texas judge has ruled, in a case so sweeping the exact number of people the ruling was made for was not known at the time of the ruling, that teaching a child to obey one's parents puts the child in "immanent danger" for abuse if what the parents believe is currently against the law. Now, people in the USA are Yankees, they are cowboys, they have lived and fought and died for freedom. Throughout the world, people look to the USA as a place they would love to go to finally be free. The people there are so caught up in the idea of freedom, they constantly complain and find the things that don't make their country free. The desire to have a revolution to "protect their rights", seems to be in their blood. In the end, like an itch you have to scratch, they will not be able to stand it, and the ruling will be overturned. The rebellious nature of those watching, itches to actually do something now, as along with freedom, the USA is also known for taking the longest time possible to decide anything. But the same belief in freedom, that seems to have been trampled upon in this case, is the force behind laws that say they must sit back and watch. Along with freedom, and taking a very long time to decide what a law says, and rebellion, the USA is rife with complicated mazes of laws that protect the rights by which freedom is there defined. In Texas these hoops were not all jumped through, but when it comes to "doing something about it", the US cannot ignore the individual freedoms of the states it's made up of, and commit a crime against freedom to enforce freedom. That is another USA ideal. You must not bypass freedom in the attempt to save it. So they are forced to stand by, respecting the rights of Texas, until all the hoops have been jumped through or ignored, up to the point where the rest of the United States can jump.
