   Freedom--- Choice--- and --- Responsibility

I love choices. I love to walk around in bookstores---not because I can buy all the books, but because I could buy one book, and I have so many to choose from.

I like buffets 1. I rarely get to go to them, but when I do, the first thing I do is walk around and see what the choice are.

I also like the internet. It seems like cyberspace 2 really doesn't have any limits. There are so many things to discover--- like space.

Sometimes, I think we don't appreciate the freedom that we have. We are free to make many different choice. From the food we eat--- to the places we visite--- to the people we meet--- to the classes we take and on and on and on.

but freedom has dangers. If misused 3, it can be harmful. I could pile a mountain of food on my plate and NOT to eat it. it would be a waste. but that's a choice I have.

The Internet has dangers, too. If parents are not careful and don't supervise what their kids can see--- well kids can lose some of their innocence 4 because of freedom.

There's a reason for legal age limits when it comes to driving, gambling 5, drinking,somking, and voting. Until we reach that age, we aren't free to do those things.
