I haven't got mine yet. Maybe I wasn't affected. [/wishfull thinking] Other than that I'm mostly (not completely) satisfied with the treatment I've received as a disabled vet and I've even been asked to participate in focus groups on VA services.

I must have missed that. Not exactly "liberal slavery," I think we were talking about "socialist slavery" and anytime socialism is implemented individual freedoms are trampled. Hence the analogy to slavery. You no longer have a choice, you're forced. That's the immoral system, socialism. Which is more moral, a capitalist who willingly donate to charities that they support or a socialist government forcing you to work to pay for the benefit of somebody that you owe no debt to nor have done any wrong to? You do understand that Lincoln freed the slaves, not because he had jungle fever but because he understood that it was wrong to force the slaves to work for other people's gain. The history of socialism and it's evil offspring communism, shows that the systems are fundementally flawed because humans want to be free. Socialists hate capitalism because it provides an alternative to liberal oppression and control.
