"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose".

[kentuck]

Nothing ain't worth nothing, but it's free.

They have lost the ability to protect themselves from the deadly Covid, because it imposes on their freedom.

They have lost the ability to wear a mask, because their cult does not permit it. They say it "looks stupid".

They have lost the ability to protect their children at schools because their politics won't allow it.

They have lost the ability to think. They have nothing else to lose.

They have no freedom. It is only an illusion they have created to protect their false ideology.

4. Funny thing, I thought the surgeons who did my last surgery

were all pretty damn smart. Harvard Medical School and all...

3. I love this song.

There are so many great versions. I'm partial to Janis, but one is so fine as well.

6. Written by Kris Kristofferson

7. Yup.

He and Janis were lovers for a time, and good friends until the end. He didn't know she'd recorded this until after she died. She meant it to be a surprise, which is was, only I doubt she meant it to be such a bittersweet one.

8. And as the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers try taking their last breath around

their ventilator they might think of this lyric: "I'm sittin' here and thinkin' of the freedom
of my chains..." to the song Loving Arms written by Tom Jans but first recorded by
Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge. Lots of appropriate songs come to mind but that'd be another thread.

9. I like Janis's version of this song,

but it makes me cry. God, was she great.
