I believe universal justice exists. I believe you can quantify justice. I think at the end of the day you and I are both right, and both wrong. We hold utterly different perspectives on life, choice, and freedom. These may be irreconcilable

Nothing you've said here is wrong. The enquirer doesn't meet the minimum standards of journalism, they are a blackmail rag. I think this could actually be proven with empirical data.

There is no such thing as "financial freedom". Financial freedom is a concept that arises from personal beliefs and practices. There is only one universal freedom, the freedom of chioce. I think this is more important than any 21s
