This one is sure to ruffle a few feathers! Ever notice how many conservatives are leveraged to the point of deep personal debt - home loans, car loans, school loans, etc. - and seem to have a rather unnerving, irrational or unethical passion for capital acquisition at any cost? Do you really think it is a coincidence? I'm just curious since, in a world where there is little financial security - in favor of debt slavery - and people want to 'live the American Dream' at any cost...just what is the actual cost? Integrity? Ethics? Morality? Freedom? Are people willing to go into debt to spend the rest of their lives working to pay for what they have already spent? How real is 'success'? How well you hide your debt? How well you screw others to pay it off? I wonder where all this will eventually lead... The future should be interesting (or very disturbing and depressing). I guess we'll see... But hey, what do *I* know? Could it be...being free from debt (That is my choice and it always has been)? "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time..." ;)
