re: #192 Obdicut

Okay, well, that’s a rather big shift of topic.

Do you understand what I mean about the freedoms of the mill workers?

Freedom can be interfered with by the government, certainly. It can also be interfered with by private industry. If you are put into a position where you have to accept dangerous working conditions or starve, you are not free.

It actually wasn’t a shift of topic, it was another example of the point I think you were trying to make. An all-powerful corporation can oppress people in ways that our country’s government is supposed to prevent. The working conditions you speak of are a testament to that.
