AMBER I'm not sure that I understand your post @ 5:28 this morning, but if I do, I have to disagree with you.
While Gordon is certainly free to do whatever he pleases, I really doubt that "most would love to do what you are doing and be totally "FREE". A week or two of camper living would be enough for me, I can guarantee.
And the notion that we are "all bound by dumb, silly peer pressure" is a bit extreme, too. Without some peer pressure, you might find people on the public streets in states of undress that would embarrass old fogies like me, using rude language and generally misbehaving in public and annoying others.
The notion of personal freedom sounds great, but think a little about the results.
What if the vet who treated Gordon's little dog Hugo, felt like going fishing instead of into the office that day?
And winter is coming to New England soon, how about if the fellow who gets up at dawn to plow your street so you can get out and about, decided to stay in bed and forget it?
Or the police or firemen just didn't feel like going in to work?
"Freedom" is a lovely word, but it has to be tempered with "responsibility".
At least I think so.
