    Obviously your idea of freedom and mine are world's part.

    Now hold on...some clarification, please. How does one experience "more
    freedom" in the Netherlands and Denmark than in America? And last time I checked,
    no one in America can "maximize wealth at any cost". Plenty of people who
    try this end up in prison. So there are clearly "rules" here in the USA.
