[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5480285, member: 24302"] What you can do is find out what's available to you and pursue that. You seem to think government can be used to give you the life you want but all you'll end up with is a new master telling you how you must live. The only freedom we truly have is in our mind. When we work for someone else we are fulfilling what they want. Is there freedom in having a lot of money? Not if you spend it all trying to have some lifestyle. You'll always be pursuing more money to maintain that lifestyle. Freedom is learning to be content with what you have. Knowing that it's nice to have things but also knowing the tradeoff in giving your precious time, blood, sweat, and tears to get the money to have those nice things. Only you can decide if it's worth the effort. Believing that an all powerful government will level the playing field and give you what you want and everyone else too is a fantasy that people indulging in has resulted in famine and misery and death wherever it has been tried. Your freedom starts and ends in your mind. If you aren't free there you'll never be free anywhere else. [/QUOTE]
