Well I can tell you I feel free enough to be happy in that respect Pinto. If there is an event or place that wants to charge me an entry fee and I don’t want to pay it, I simply won’t go. The kind of freedom you want isn’t practical in this world, there are too many idiots and nasty people that need to be overseen or taken care of otherwise they’d infringe on the lives of others. Events, even in public places, don’t organise themselves. Thats me done on this subject for now.
