None of this music is widely conceived anymore, I'd like to say that's a reason why the youth and population doesn't fight to keep truth, equality, and freedom within their grasp. The art of inspiring & beautiful music has been lost in the general populations to the point that people say these type of artists aren't good. I lament it. It's tragically sad. Keep your minds open people, much love.

john doe You can choose your freedom and seclude your self from the rest of society and you may do fine. But taxes can and do, look at Europe, help people. I want to live where are people are treated fairly, given opportunity to survive and thrive, and people are able to pursue their own happiness. In order for those all to occur it requires cooperation. If you are anti-government that is fine, but in order for that world to exist a large "entity" needs to be created to provide protection, stability, and support, as well as infrastructure and other services. There needs to be a method for taken funds from the extravagantly rich and allocating them to the less fortunate. Back to my original post, I think that the system is not good, but is moving in the right direction and can be amended to provide my aforementioned ideals.
