Freedom Is Many Things, But Not Free: Elmo Coney

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Elmo G. Coney, who with his wife Mattie of the Citizens Forum, Indianapolis, appeared before the first Milford Area Development Council “Citizen of the Year" meeting a year ago, wrote the following article for The North Side Topics, an Indianapolis neighborhood newspaper. Born in Mississippi, graduated from high school in Magnolia, Miss., and from college in Alcorn, back in 1938 when the country was struggling out of a depression, Elmo Coney’s personal struggles probably were many, but he used them as stepping stones toward a positive attitude and a life devoted to service, helping others to help themselves. He is project coordinator of Citizens Forum. Inc., a “Better Neighbor Program” founded by his wife Mattie.)

Freedom is: Being born in a Country, with a Constitution and a Bill of Rights, that proposes that it be ruled by law rather than by man. A Constitution that guarantees everyone the pursuit of happiness. A Bill of Rights that says, we are all equal before the law. We have the opportunity to choose the best and leave the worst; we can choose knowledge or ignorance; we can be a productive citizen or a parasite; religious or atheistic; optimistic or pessimistic; patriot or traitor. Freedom is: Exercised when citizens pray enough, work enough, learn enough and share enough to make this country a better place to live and a better place because of our having been here.

In America everyone who is willing to pay the price and accept their Individual Responsibility as a good citizen is free. There is no such thing as something for nothing. Wishing for freedom and wanting freedom, like success, are two different things. People who wish don’t put forth as much effort as those who want. Those who want, work. Those who wish, wait on luck. All citizens are free to accept the available opportunities or create their own opportunities If you can’t get a job working for someone else, work for yourself. You are free to find a need and serve it. Our positive thinking citizens are free to compete with our negative thinking citizens, to
