the gates were closed decades ago - the 'freedom' she speaks of was never for some and what there was has been badly eroded over decades
if she wants to get the filly back in the yard now --------- the horse is many suburbs away over 3 highways and might have been even sighted in the next town
''Defending our freedom means we have to look each of these incidents and their causes squarely in the eye and only pursue REAL solutions to the problems we uncover.''
what she and any politician who says that means is ---------- let's only look at the causes to a point
we don't really want to distil down to the base problems ------------- it's far too ugly and we've no idea where to begin
so - would she like to start from the top and work backwards? -- murder, mental health and abuse - are merely the tips of the branches
and it's a long long way back to the base of the tree and down into the roots
