Statue of Liberty

7/8/11 as i sit on the staten island ferry passing the lady miss america herself. symbol of freedom and liberty and pursuit of happiness i overhear a convo between to hispanic men speaking half english half spanish and they are talking about the one guys sister getting the bleep beat out of her by her boyfriend. i pondered freedom. freedom of choice freedom to live the life you want to live from wherever you came from or are going you can choose in this country to live just how you want. sometimes its hard to understand the choices people make with said freedom.
