Choices

It occurred to me today after reading yet another post about why someone should not be doing something and why it is our business, that we all make choices in this life. And one of the great privileges of living in America is we are FREE to CHOOSE. That FREEDOM of CHOICE was given to us by our Creator who gave us a free will and by our country who recognized that right given to us by our Creator.

We can choose to attend hundreds of concerts. We can choose to spend thousands of dollars on said trips to those concerts. We can choose to take pictures of those concerts, write about those concerts, criticize those concerts, and even offer advice regarding the quality of the concerts we paid to see.

As consumers, we can choose to boycott any product, activity, entertainer or event that displeases us or does not measure up to our standard of quality. If I am displeased with a product or service I stop purchasing it or frequenting that place of business. That is my right as an American, a consumer, and a fan.

I would be the first one to tell you that I do not want my freedom taken away or abused. I would also be the first to tell you that not one person can force me to do anything I do not want to do. And I am old enough and wise enough to know that my choices (good or bad) have consequences. I have to live with those consequences, just as everyone else who chooses does.
