I suppose if you were on the winning team, but even then. We, all of us, keep thinking that just by repeating the word freedom, we are somehow living it. <br /><br />I wonder then if we only truly recognize our freedoms in hindsight. That is probably why Naomi Klein is treated as some sort of Cassandra half of the time. What she says about the lack of political involvement in global decisions cannot possibly be true! <br /><br />A pleasure to read this article. Now for a true existential experience of freedom, the drone removes his necktie after a 12 hour day. <br /><br />Best to you, D.<br />JulesJD Tuyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648788235892268668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-25437132962055989282009-05-31T18:27:30.396-07:002009-05-31T18:27:30.396-07:00Thank you. :)Thank you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
