 BrF>> That's one way of thinking freedom and I in someway I can understand
 BrF>> you. But you also have to see what you get in return for your money.

 EC> The issue is whether the government spends my money or I purchase what
 EC> looks better to me.


Well then.
I live in my own house that I built about 25 years ago on my own private land
that's so big so I use a 12 hp rideable lawn mower. There is also a little
guest
house where one of the three children we have raised here can stay if they want
and a green house here. And we have just installed a new heating system that
we call "mountain heating" that takes care of the warmth in the mountain with a
heat-pump.
In the double garage is my wifes Opel Omega Stationwagon and outside is my
4 WD Chevy S 10 V6 aut fully equiped.
We have each a laptop and a desk top and access to two other computers, all
running in both a cable- and a wireless network with three printers. DVD
burners
in the desk tops.
Two telephone lines, one for my wife and one for me and we each have a cell
phone. A SonyEricsson Z1010 3G. (UMTS).
I have a Sony digital video camera and a rather new Canon 300 D digital camera
with two lenses. 28-80 and a 80-200.
I have recievers for both avaliable sattelite systems, two TV and a video to
both
where one have a DVD player and one DVD player with a 160 HD and a DVD burner
and a wireless system so I can move the little TV around wherever I want.
We normally fly abroad twice a year to Bulgaria, Greece, Spain etc. but this
year
it will only be to the Domenican Republic for three weeks but perhaps we go by
car with some friends to England, Denmark and Germany this summer but that's
up to them.

Now, what else can I buy for the money that I don't have? What more can I want?
And consider that I also have had 11 operations in a hospital without having
to pay for it and I'm not even to consider as a rich man.

 BrF>> No, but money can't buy you free from it no matter how much you have.

 EC> So you are saying that we both get old, so we'd might as well toss in the
 EC> towel rather than strive for freedom.

See above. What more freedom can I possibly have?
Now, please tell me about your "freedom".

 BrF>>>> And why didn't you read and commented on the rest I wrote? Do you only
 BrF>>>> read and comment on what suits you?

 EC>>> I home in on what interests me.

 BrF>> And seeing the bad sides of your country scares you?

 EC> Nope.  I'm not scared a bit.

Why do you then chose to ignore it when I point them out for you?

 BrF>> And why do you then only see the bad things in other countries? Open
 BrF>> your eyes and realize that shit happends in both USA and Sweden.

 EC> I never said otherwise.

But you DO have problems with seeing them.

 BrF>> Neither you or I are perfect.

 EC> As for you, I'll take your word for it.  You don't know me though. <g>

No, but beeing an American I guess that you are pefect,

 EC> And it is "is perfect", not "are perfect".  <g>

Thanks.
