Tell Me If It's Chilly Outside

So, we dye our hair, burn our skin, paint our faces, ink our body, pierce our appendages, pollute our lungs, poison our veins, intoxicate our minds, abort our babies and impress our selfs all to with hold our basic human right, the freedom to choose. We choose to do these things and get mad at anyone who tries to stop us. There is no denying that we deserve this right. No matter how right or wrong, true or false, valid or invalid our decision is we still have the freedom to make our own choices and no one should be able to stop us. This is our right.
 
I believe that. It is something rooted deep within my faith. We all need to have our freedom, but there will always be consequences for our actions. Freedom doesn’t free us from our responsibilities.
 
Why do we do what we do?
