MH> Many of those who have 'never contributed' are in that

RS> BULLSHIT they havent, we happen to have FREE education. All
RS> you need to do is avail yourself of it. If you choose not to...

LE> Free, my ass. I pay for it.

RS> You have a problem with simple english dont you Lewin ?
RS> It means that the person attending doesnt have to pay Lew.

LE> You didn't say that.

Thats where you flaunt your problem with simple
english Lew. It aint necessary in that context.

LE> And it needn't mean that. It could mean "unrestricted".

Not in that particularly context. Thats what english is all about
Lew, in many cases the context is relevant when there is more than one
meaning for a particular word. And since you obviously havent grasped
that, you are just providing yet more evidence of what our schools
continue to churn out. People with such a lousy grasp of basic english.

LE> There is no such thing as 'free', never has been since the
LE> invention of the concept of credit, and will never be until money
LE> and credit are abolished and all work is performed by machines.

RS> Funny, could have sworn that the air I breath is free.

LE> Only if you're living outside the national waters
LE> of any country and you buy nothing from any country.

Crap. In Australia for example its quite possible, and in fact quite
easy, to choose to live on welfare. In which case the guvmint pays you
a rather decent slug of money periodically, which you get to spend. Yes,
they do take some of that back in consumption taxes, but there is a real
sense in which thats just moving from one guvmint pocket to another. So
that person isnt actually paying a cent for the air he breathes.

You economics aint much better than your english Lew.

LE> You cannot live in any country or buy anything
LE> without paying something to the Government.

Thats crap too actually. Its quite possible even today to live a purely
subsistence lifestyle and pay no taxes at all, even consumption taxes.

LE> Your use of air is included in the taxes you pay.

Nope, that pays for OTHER stuff like the roads etc.

LE> It just so happens that it's not charged by volume.

Crap. It really is free.
