A citizen does not, nor ought need to, pay anyone for the rights of the office of citizenship. Slavery is an abolished practice, yet your advertiser has just stated in this quote that slavery is alive and well. Is it not time to rethink this? Treating society as products may be one of the reasons that the Taliban attacked US soil, and destroyed the trade towers in New York. We need to be treated as people, as citizens. If we are treating each other as slaves then the cycle of violence will never stop. 

At least I have a massive voice that is listened to at the university.
