Prosperity derives from all are equal before the law — NOT, a forced limitation on materialism. Reply Ronw13, Oregon 11/28/19 Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 11/22/23 You can only prosper when all are equally respected, regarded, and all are given the same fair opportunities. Freedom to maime and kill is mentally ill freedom, and that's why we don't have equality which is a reasonable expectation. Mentally healthy have respect for life.
