those societies leave no room for bigotry and tyranny."

I agree HS

We are not free. We have credit reports and social security numbers. You can't get credit to buy a house without a credit report and social security number. If you pay cash for a house they report anything over $100k to the government, with your social security number. You cannot rent an apartment without a credit report and social security number.

If you cannot be tracked, you cannot live a normal life in American society. Is that freedom? No. We are all so conditioned to think we're free because we (theoretically) have more rights and opportunity then those in other countries (at least if you're heterosexual and white) :pimp:
