There are moves in the UK to form one. But even if it were to reach the
agenda, and you imagine the haggling? And what would the benefit be, I'm
already as free as a bird.. tweet tweet. I gruffly compared my freedoms to

I have choice. I choose to not want guns in my society for example. Every
single day of the my life I could choose to be a communist - in the UK I had
choice, in the US you had witch hunts. In the UK we had free education for
all, in the US you had segregated schools. In parts of the US, you choose
not to teach your kids the accepted theory of evolution. You choose not to
give them the choice to decide.
