Day 189

July 6th, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
I do not believe in Rhetorical Questions. What I have found in oberserving others is that when the person comes to a question that will have an answer that conflicts with their self image that person will delare the question as Rhetorical.
I see that the question being asked is for the reader to look within and ask what they feel, or react, to the freedom that they have. The reader is not being asked to think about the idea of freedom. What is being asked of the reader is how they react to how freedom feels to the reader, and the reader only.
The reaction to this and other Rhetorical questions can range from good to bad to something never thought of before.
If you feel fear when this is asked, ask yourself why you have “fear”. Do you feel freedom as the liberty to ACT or as the thing to RESTRICT so that you can fit in?
I see this question as a challenge to my own notions and ideas of how I act and how I think and view the world.
Any other comments out there?
keep up the good work yo are doing walking and recording NYC in 2012. This is a more important work than you may realize.
