FREEDOM

In the United States of America lies a large industrial city, site of one of the world's largest slave labor camps. Near this center are community settlements where the slaves live. Each morning people move herd like from these quarters into the industrial camp. Each one is at his or her station by 8:30 AM. Here they report to their master for the day's duties. And here they remain chained until 5 PM, when they're released. They have no choice as to how many hours they must labor.

Sometimes they are required to work overtime until their master tells them that they may leave. Each year they're told when to take their vacation, for how long, and when they must return. They have little choice as to how much money they earn; they are allowed very little time for lunch and coffee breaks during the labor hours. They remain in their chains in great fear because their master can punish them with the lay-off whip. It is said that even some slaves that are good and faithful have felt the sting of the whip. Day by day, year by year, they toil until the master decides it's time for them to stop work. He then releases them to the retirement camps where they are forced to sit idle and wait for death. It's a well known fact that the old slaves that tried to work are sometimes whipped with their stop-their-pension whip.

I know these slave camps exist, for I am a free man who lives among the slaves. I'm in business for myself. I'm truly free. I arise in the morning called for by my schedule. I decide my own hours. I can even sleep in late while the slaves are at work. I can vacation when, where, and for how long I please. I am free to take my coffee break and lunch when I decide, and of course I can decide my own pay check because I'm not a slave. I can choose to work when and where I please, and with whom I please. I'm free to stay in the city for as long as I want or to move into greener pastures, if I decide to. I've seen many slaves sadly pack their belongings to leave their city in search of a new master. There is a ray of hope for the slave though. He or she can buy their own freedom. The cost is not high, yet it seems high to those who don't have the courage to pay the price.

What is the price?

ONE MUST BE WILLING TO BE THEIR OWN MASTER!!!!!!
