More From Janis Joplin

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.
Country Freedom Fighting
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. and free will is what has made evil possible. why, then, did god give them free will? because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
Evil Giving Joy
A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

Ordinary men live in fear all the time. didn't you know that? we're afraid of the weather, we're afraid of powerful men, we're afraid of the night and the monsters that lurk in the dark, we're afraid of growing old and of dying. sometimes we're even afraid of living. ordinary men are afraid almost every minute of their lives.
Powerful Dark Night
What i really found myself interested in was the idea that our minds our so powerful and when we're living, the mind is dampened by the body. as crazy as our minds can get, they're only so crazy because they're physically housed.
