You've expanded on the same line of thinking. In societies that have no safety nets, there is also no Freedom, hence problems found there cannot be attributed to the existence of freedom. Your's is a typical argument against freedom, it sways many, and it has a passionate feel. But to decide whether freedom works, a deeper look is required, as this one fails the logic test. You speak of brutalization as if I'm to accept it as a consequence of freedom- but you offer no evidence. Without blind acceptance of this premise, the argument you make holds no logic. By what process would freedom brutalize anyone? Not by definition nor practical reality, are the two associated. Freedom Works, Dan B
