firefly (npub16a3…hqv6) "If they have your children they have the future"
Y'know, I haven't spoken with my own son since 2012.
Even in feudal Japan, during the Edo period under the Tokugawa shogunate policy of 参覲交代「sankin-kōtai 」(translation: 'alternate attendance') daimyōs alternated years between service and being able to reside with their families who were forced to live at Osaka Castle and the surrounding areas as hostages.
Which is to say: when I read or hear the adage "land of the free, home of the brave" with regards to the USA, my mind automatically transposes it to: "land of the fee, home of the slave" because of how I, and many others have been, and continue to be treated.
