Bob: What a crock of shit! This is what you think of capitalism? Where did you pick up such looney ideas? You have a contract, written or unwritten, with any employer that you enter into employment with on a voluntary basis. It is a business agreement between free individuals. If you freely take a loan from a bank, the bank doesn't OWN you!!! Where did you come up with this...I hesitate to call it an idea... The bank, if it requires collateral against the loan, can have a lien against some of your property to protect it from a default, but that is not slavery, just common business sense! In both examples you receive value for value given. This is the free man's Trader's Philosophy. Please explain exactly how slavery enters the picture. Our desires stem from our ethics derived from our morals derived from our basic philosophy of life. Are you saying, Bob that we are a slave to life? The only freedom is death? Well, this is the anti-life philosophy that the christians and other religions preach. Seems you were programmed very well. I'd say you are a "slave" -- to irrational thought. FT
