^ agreed!
What I find truly sad is the fact that we have to fight for things that are supposed to ours, from the get go.

We are supposed to a free people, yet there are so many restraints.

We are supposed to have private lives, yet every body of government wants to know virtually every intimate detail.

Family is family and no matter what they'll always be there!

As for jobs (pfft): how can any person be expected to place their job on a pedestal when IT is what denies them the most?

One of the reasons I once admired the French (Parisians etc - not the franglais) for was their 4-day work week. At the very least that promoted living, not working.
