Time is the Universal measure of Freedom.
“Doing Time” is a colloquial for spending time in jail. Jail is punishment for doing a crime, and “if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” (According to a 1970’s cop-show, Baretta, and later Spongebob Squarepants). Credibility.
It is a crime not to go to school. I repeat, it is a crime… NOT to go to school. So, punishment for not attending a coerced economic-political institution is to go to another coerced economic-political institution. For what? Being born? If you don’t go to school, you could go to jail. School or jail? What a choice in a ‘free country’.
Prisons take away freedoms, so the incinerated are ‘not free to commit more crimes’.
Schools take up time to teach freedoms, and if you don’t go to school, you are not, what, free…? (Head scratcher)
If schools take up time, and time is freedom, then schools are taking freedom. Kids are “doing time” every day with the hope of… freedom? You know this when “It’s time for everyone to stand and chant together about “liberty and justice for all”.
Take time to pledge allegiance to a free society that takes your time and freedom.
Too tired to think about this stuff? Don’t have the time? Perfect. Enjoy your freedom.
