What I'm saying is you're so caught up in comparing this world to your own that you consistently fail to evaluate our situation as what it is here, not in comparison. Working toward a better system is a nice thought. Start by understanding why this one works the way it does. You're used to so much freedom that anything saying you can't do exactly as you're used to is a big deal. Calm down and start using your brain to look at this logically, not emotionally.
