okay, how's this...imagine you're told what you are going to be, not when you grow up, but from the get go, trained in that profession, never to enjoy a hobby or leisure because what you do is what the government decides you're going to do.
Instead of say, you grow into being good at something, and decide that later on it's not what you had in mind. Here, you can pursue other interests, change career paths, become your own boss. Just a couple of small things really, but life as you know it here isn't like life in some other places. Life isn't always what you think it's going to be, it can be what you make of it, and here, anyone can try just about anything. No caste systems, no barriers that can't be overcome.
This bunch of legislation is one of those things to be overcome. i truly do not believe that this country is dumbed and numbed to the point that we can't fight for what we believe in and put our points across in cold hard facts, we may not have a ton of cash, but I want to hang on to what I have, and make more, while enjoying what I do. If that's not worth fighting for, or if that isn't one of your ideas of freedom, I don't know what is.
Oh yeah, freedom of speech, just another small thing...
