You are given the impression of free choice, but as the old Tennessee
ford song says: "I owe my soul to the company store".

according to the WSJ, the average American pays $200 between, phone,
cable, cell and Internet.
that's $2400 after taxes. then you have house and auto and the list go
on. Like hamsters on the little wheel.

I do not know if a cultural revolution is on the horizon or not. When
people will say enough is enough, I want off this merry go round.
I think hell is a Checkout line at costco that never moves. Nah, make
that Wal-mart.



woods:
Good points, but your bringing up the fiat monetary system and 
corporatism that has been interfered with by government in a way that 
has unfortunately enacted a picture that when i look at statism i see the economy 
way too much and that is by no sense of the word a free market.  
You seem to be agreeing with me.  Leave Betty's potatoes alone.
