How is freedom born? The trailer for a documentary released by the Acton Institute that tells the story of how modern understandings of individual liberty were developed. Check out http://www.thebirthoffreedom.com for information about premieres and related materials.

The American founders said that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They called this a self evident truth. 87 years later, Abraham Lincoln reaffirmed this idea on the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg. And in 1963 these same words echoed from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial as Martin Luther King, Jr. urged America to fulfill the promise of its founding.

But humans are separated by enormous differences in talent and circumstance. Why would anyone believe that all men are created equal? That all should be free? That all deserve a voice in choosing their leaders? Why would any nation consider this a self-evident truth?

For the millions around the world who have never tasted liberty the question cries for an answer. And the answer it gives is the ingredient to a true free, virtuous and prosperous society.

Hope all of us look at all comments and postings as the voice of One United Nation.

Please pardon my drifting away from the main topic as I wish to draw attention to those who debates over unnecessary issues and starts "attacking" our own fellow Singaporeans.

Anyway, the property market is not going to cool off at all. Instead, the new restrictions will make it more difficult for Singaporeans and their next generations to come. Many private property developers are even forecasting that prices would not come down for the next few years. As for HDB flats (so-called public housing), when was the last time it really becomes affordable after ruling to include private banks to offer loans for HDB units and pushed up mortgages and overall prices?

To certain extent, building 22,000 more units, an increase from previously 16,000 units as reported, will help. Question is what type of housing will be built and catering for which division of Singaporeans? The rich, middle or lower income? Affordability? Or this increase will benefit PRs and foreigners because after re-sale units prices are down due to this additional supply.

All these remains to be seen and explained. This year’s National Day Rally is not much different from any other years. It still gives you hope, aspirations and dreams. The thing is whether you, as a Singaporean, dares to aspire, dream or hope.

Time was when American media wore their biases on their sleeves. The history of media ethics shows this system of honesty in media bias, so common in the nineteenth century, giving way to the doctrine of “objectivity” early in the twentieth century. Media historians chart the zenith of objectivity’s prominence occurring around the 1950’s. However, over the last fifty years objectivity has succumbed to a state of confusion.

The huge American media conglomerates have not admitted this seismic cultural shift towards accepting the reality of media bias (although understood as a fact by most of their consumers). They still march under the false advertising of “objectivity” and “neutrality”. Wouldn’t it be better for our nation if newspapers, not to mention other forms of media, simply displayed openly their prejudices and points of view? Imagine: “The New York Democrat Times”, “The Los Angeles Liberal Times”, “The Washington Post and Democrat”, “Boston Liberal Democrat Globe”.
As Charles Griffin Ross turns in his grave, and the American Mainstream Media harbors a warm spot for yellow journalism, It is time to pull the mask of “objectivity” off these malignant cultural tumors we call “journalists”.

Video excerpts of the anti-war rally are from across the web, and are used for commentary under the “fair use” statute.
