Hey Lu, Great to hear from you. It's been awhile.
Freedom is risky, for sure.Many share your concerns, especially when the "masses" choose our leaders. That's when freedom as expressed through democracy can cause real trouble because everyone is affected. But, I'll take the bitter with the sweet, especially considering the alternatives. So long as we're able to freely express our views, whether in politics or the market, we should be OK.
