"Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only
if he is free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents,
free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security
of his old age and his family."
by:
Herbert Hoover
(1874-1964), 31st US President

    One star as averse to a thumbs down because with the smallest of a single thread, Hoover here attempts to weave an almost accuracy into "freedom's" entire tapestry. Freedom and liberty are inalienable elements of the noble being man, whether or not, man's inhumanity to man allows the manifestation of such.

    You're not going to possess a mind, inspiration, free decisions by becoming an inanimate object, this being where the emphasis on acquisition of properties leads.  Feelings, ideas, sensitivities, and sensibilities is how we acquire our needs; homes, supplies, travel, friends, and love.
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
