We know that freedom has a price. Democracy has a price. But maybe we paid a price that is higher than freedom and higher than democracy. There is always a price for freedom. But not this much.

There is little freedom in the Kurdish-populated areas, while Iranians and especially Kurd, see democracy as a primary need.

Sometimes if there is too much freedom exercised then democracy will be destroyed,

What if good institutions were in fact the product of good intentions? What if the cynicism that is supposed to be rigor and the acquisitiveness that is supposed to be realism are making us forget the origins of the greatness we lay claim to - power and wealth as secondary consequences of the progress of freedom, or, as Whitman would prefer, Democracy?

Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way.

I've always been a petition-signer. I always believe in freedom of expression and absolute democracy.
