Show 2 Yarns! Express Wednesday, June 28, 1989 By Jock Wollis tiLjtv This year Independence Day should .have greater meaning than every before. With the strife in China and the apparent changes being made in the Soviet Union toward more freedom for the people it makes one thankful to live in a land where democracy is really real-ly the way of life. But with freedom great responsibilities are required. It is a little ironical that just preceding Independence Day the U. S. Supreme Court has issued so many decisions deci-sions that border on the line of freedom and individual rights. The burning of the flag, pornographic phone business, death sentences for juveniles and mentally handicapped are all controversial issues that center around the first amendment freedom and capital punishment. pun-ishment. To some freedom means to do anything he wants to do including drinking alcoholic beverages in excess, using drugs and pursuing any kind of so-called happiness. happi-ness. The freedom of choice in ones life can make a tremendous difference. When one uses his freedom to jeopardize the lives of others is when this freedom should end. Laws have been made to protect individuals individu-als from the consequences of others who would abuse the privilege of living in a free democratic society. Sometimes the line seems to be drawn to allow too much freedom at the expense of other basic principles. Other times laws may seem too strict in preventing harmful actions and substances to take place and to be used. The American Lung Association of Utah is celebrating celebrat-ing July 5 as "Non-Dcpcndcncc Day", a day the citizens citi-zens of Utah will join millions of Americans across Independence Day the nation in declaring their freedom from smoking. Just one day after our nation celebrates its independence, indepen-dence, the American Lung Association is scheduling special events throughout the country to inform nicotine nico-tine addicted smokers that there is help in the battle to be free of cigarettes. Last year the Surgeon General reported that nicotine is the drug in tobacco that causes addiction. The American Lung Association programs address the specific spe-cific behavioral problems of breaking the bonds of nicotine addiction, enabling the smoker to overcome the many threatening obstacles that are encountered along the road to freedom from smoking. The 1989 report of the Surgeon General reaffirms earlier reports that smoking is the single most important impor-tant preventable cause of premature death in our society. soci-ety. The report confirms that anti-smoking efforts like the "Freedom from Smoking" materials and clinics, have led millions of people to stop smoking, or never to start Independence, freedom, safe, equal, protection, are all words that have great meaning if they are used in the right context for the general welfare of the majority- Hopefully, this Independence Day will signify a time when individuals will realize all the efforts and suffering suffer-ing that has gone before to make this country free from oppression. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Wc must insure that freedom prevails.
