Does a kid in the ghetto with parents (excuse me- probably "a parent") who shoot up and beat him and starve him of proper nutrients have a "free choice"- no not really. Do little kids who are abused by male relatives have a "free choice"? Even in a free society people aren't always "free". And most of us- even without sensational circumstances- do NOT have the kind of free choices we would like. Everyone has choices- it's the consequences that suck- and those can suck everywhere. You don't need to be in Cuba to be between a rock and a hard place. Especially not if your poor and minority in America.
