What Freedom Means....
...freedom means when somebody you love is sick and dying you can be with them regardless of where they are.....freedom means having the comfort of knowing you can afford to take trips to your nation's capital to protest...freedom means having the financial ability to do things you want to do sometimes...instead of always having to do what you HAVE TO...to get by....freedom means having the money to buy what you WANT...instead of always having to get the bottom-of-the-line bargains or most often...having do without altogether....freedom means $$$$$$$$ plain and simple...if for whatever reason you don't have enough of it...forget about bein' truly free because baby you just ain't....

Don't believe me? Just ask some of the thousands of people who couldn't even get out of harms way before and after Katrina...when you're POOR....you don't get to make many...if any...choices that so many other people take completely for granted.
