"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." ~Thomas Paine
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free ... it expects what never was and never will be." ~ Thomas Jefferson
"Nothing is free, Son. If you want anthing, ya gota work for it." ~ Me, yesterday, when my son asked for $10.00 to go to the movies - after he failed to mow the lawn for the third consecutive day.
I was thinking more in terms of the fact that the wealthy have a world of opportunity, while the poor are pretty much locked in place without any options.
I'm surprised 10 bucks would even pay for a movie, for example. Most theaters I've been to, that wouldn't buy a a ticket for a single seat at a matinee.
Yup, this is true. Just wanted to say, while I'm not an atheist (I'm a nothing lol), I LOVE your blog. Hope you don't mind if I add you to my blogroll :)
It never is !
