The Price of Freedom?

Above: Freedom in a jar

"We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom." (Kanye West).

I agree with Mr. West, you can’t buy freedom. It’s kind of obvious really; you don’t see many freedom stores these days. I guess they sold freedom in bulk back in the day. I presume that store was right next to “Sentimentality Depot” and “Awesome House”. I guess our economy has really taken its toll on these freedom stores. I wish they were still around; I would love to buy myself some freedom. Maybe add a side of contradiction and a dash of tyranny. This intangible business has really been tanking though. Not only freedom but also continuity is also getting scarce. At least I can still find hyperbole. Oh wait. Right…I can’t. You can’t actually sell anything that’s an abstract noun.
