| 130. ok, play your game for a few minutes, then off to bed. Do you believe |
|
that people have equal opportunities here? Do you believe what you wrote in #30...
#30 You're also free to work at the profession of your choice, attend the schools of your choice, be with the partner of your choice, attend orgies, or spend a weekend praising Jesus. You can rent an apartment without state approval (don't try this in Sweden), buy a car for fun, or start a newspaper claiming the government created 9-11.
Do we have these equalities here in the USA? Do all of us have these freedoms? Are these freedoms equal for all, or just for a select few, as you seem to be saying that they are for all.
