“They give us more freedom and more rights, but take away our choices or preferences. You can't say this or you can't do that, but you are free and have rights to do whatever you want, They say. They are putting red tapes everywhere ,to channel and controlling us on what to believe, what to think, what to say and on what to do. They want us to think we are , while we are not.”
