>And what is wrong with that? Money is the frozen form of thought and effort. In the US
they (should be more so) are free to think and act. In Mexico, the corruption and
arbitrary application of govt. power makes that very difficult and possibly illegal. <

This is ridiculous. If you read these two statements together one cannot help but see that you are either saying truth, justice and the American way is the same thing as a fat paycheck OR you just admitted you were wrong (albeit, completely unintentionally). Since your posts are always muddled I have no idea what you were, actually, trying to say- but these two responses are just silly.

X,

You've been preaching that America is the land of the FREE. You said FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM.

Caught an interesting news story on the drive home earlier. A 12 year old boy in the United States requested that his name be changed from Francis to Frank. He claimed that he was traumatized by the constant ridicule by his peers because of the feminine sound of his name. "Francis of Affiffi", Francine, "Francis the mule" etc.

The judge turned down his request stating that he should get used to the taunting.

Now that's FREEDOM American Style!
