~ The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
It always goes back to freedom - the most precious asset we posses. For a person is never completely free if he/she is controlled by someone else in some way. However, at the end of the day, who is responsible for your freedom? The government? Your state or city officials? Your family? Or maybe you? What is your definition of freedom?
