To think what I want to think.

I have my own thoughts. Nobody can take them from me. In that sense, I am a free man. People can tell me what to think. But I don't have to follow directions. I'm my own man. I also have freedom of speech. But there I can be restricted. Someone can put a gag in my mouth, I suppose. Or throw me into solitary confinement in a prison. But still, I can think what I want to think. Of course, they could execute me. Kill me. Assuming there's no afterlife. That would stop me from thinking. But if there's an afterlife, I'll still go on thinking what I want to think. That's why I'm pulling for an afterlife. I want to be free forever to think what I want to think. --Jim Broede
