I don't know which. Is it that your life is full of things you HAVE to do; or full of things you LOVE doing? I wake up every day, and I can do whatever I like. That's what "freedom" means to me. Chores tend to have to wait, except for a few essentials. I live like Henry David Thoreau, mostly. Best, Tony Dave:

The real, deep black, gut-wrenching, moral conundrum is _why_ some of our fellow humans, not just on this planet but in THIS country, want to be associated with organising such ugly, ugly things. I suppose it's the same reason why so many people in Europe (and,strangely, Austria) wanted freely to become concentration camp staff. But I can't, just can't, get it - what motivates these PEOPLE? Who thought of this scheme - can we find out? It would be interesting, as it MUST have originated with somebody. Computers and robots don't dream up "initiatives" - totalitarians do, and they are humans.
