*freespace ties up dan and sends him off to the slave mines at mars.*

I will have you know. a ruler has been, is, and always will be 12 inches.

any metric equivilent of a ruler would be a "centistick"

and that's that.

Hey, man! We don't have SLAVE mines on Mars.. We have FREE entrepreneurship, so if you insist on sending off Dan
here, be aware he will be granted money to start his own business as part of becoming a Mars immigrant.

It's just the illusion of a free system.

in reality it's ALL just one big slave mine.

Well if we are all slaves, than there is no master, if there is no master, we are all equal, hence cannot one has no say
over another, hence we are all free.. as I said - freely entrepreneuring

*nyaaa*

Meh. Only the leaders and high businesspeople know what the system really is and play their cards right to ensure
the rest of the people are not considered their equals. they are the masters of the slaves.

*NYAAAAAAAAAA~~~~!*

If I didn't make a neat typo...

Actually the same logic, almost to the word, is what turns out to be called communism

and we saw how that
doesn't work, for precisely the same reasons Free described

People are still the same egotistic animals we were back in the trees

My point: No matter how philosophically you pack it, it can always be perverted into it's opposite

Cheers,

Communism worked well enough to give America some competition into space.

and that's not a small reason as to why we're all here.
