Every night i look at the sky and see one particualr planet getting larger and larger.
It's Mars, the god of war. Later this year it will come closer to earth than ever before.
Personally i dont put much stock in that, but it's interesting anyway.

No work means no cash, so are you really free ? No you are not. You're a slave of the system. A system build on debts, interests and fear."
You couldn't be more wrong. That does mean we are free. You don't have to work. Plenty of people don't work. Those people are free to not have money and be a bum. What could be more free than having the ability to make your life whatever you want it to be. Whether it is a doctor or lawyer that makes a lot of money, or a hobo who walks around begging for money. Now that's freedom.
You mentioned a slave to the system. Well, there is a 'system' of some kind everywhere. But this one is much less unobtrusive as say, a communist system. The ideal there is equal, but utterly not free. Our system is the opposite. Free but not equal. If everyone was completely equal, you couldn't be free because equality can only be achieved if someone has complete control over you.

Try to stay on topic and quit asuming things.
2) And both of you should remember that no one is always right, you can be wrong anytime !
1) Irrelevant ? What was irrelevant in my post ? NOTHING ! It's just that you don't like what I wrote.
2) Like you TigeriS.
