Unbelievable... This is what I call "real negative chutzpah" on the part of Charles Schwab. >>>> Maybe I agreed to the indentured servitude of my first-born son employed at Schwab? I would not be surprised if they did... <<<< Our freedoms are in the process of constant erosion, as I pointed out in a post yesterday: To:Dale Baker who wrote (2453) From: Yogi Tuesday, Jun 24, 2003 4:31 PM View Replies (1) \| Respond to of 2474 >>>>freedom 1. The condition of being free of restraints.<<<< This is on the way out, and in the not too distant future, I would not be surprised at all if the "passive sheeple" gave in to having "ID chips" implanted somewhere on their bodies. Rest assured though, this will not cut down on the mindless flag waving exercises much at all IMO. >>>>2. Liberty of the person from slavery, detention, or oppression.<<<< Well, liberty from detention is already gone, oppression is on the rise, especially in the workplace as unions become weaker and weaker and "the suits" demand benefit cuts for the average worker and ever increasing productivity until they often reach the breaking point, so can slavery be far behind? >>>>3a. Political independence. b. Exemption from the arbitrary exercise of authority in the performance of a specific action; civil liberty: freedom of assembly.<<<< This freedom is under attack also, as the two main political parties find ways to exclude candidates from the smaller parties from appearing in televised debates, thus making them seem totally unimportant in the public's eyes. >>>>4. Exemption from an unpleasant or onerous condition: freedom from want.<<<< Increasingly, many Americans find themselves in the position of choosing between good food and good health care, which is an unpleasant condition to say the least! >>>>5. The capacity to exercise choice; free will: We have the freedom to do as we please all afternoon.<<<< For the vast majority of Americans, the ability to exercise true free will becomes ever more whittled down as time moves on, and they have to work more and more hours or find part-time jobs just to make ends meet for what have become the necessities of life these days. I could go on, but I believe my point has already been made on the erosion of our freedoms. Yogi
