"FREEDOM" means NOTHING without protection of opportunity.
Whom among us are really "free" without opportunity (beyond being born into wealth or "right place, right time" or "knowing the right person")?

What is "freedom"?

If you assume it is something completely within your control,...you are either spoiled, stupid, lucky or heartless.

If you assume it is something given to you,...you are "dependent" or "surviving" like the rest of us.

2. "We in the Democratic Party believe in the protection of opportunity"
Visualize your favorite Dem saying that. It was a nice ring to it.

Great catchphrase. Thanks!
