well
while its a popular and a mostly true saying, and I know what ya mean DG, it ain;t totally true.
From the time you is born, you started breathing. You don't pay for air.
The Gubmint pillages industries for air scrubbers, but you or I never receive a bill for the air that we breathe.
Iffen we lived rurally, we would not be paying for sewage disposal either. We'd either have a nice little building with a crescent moon on it or sumpin similar.
SO, just as a starting point, there actually are some things that are free. IN my house, smiles are free, kisses are free, hugs are free, and my kids thought college was free...... lol!!!!!!!
Anyhoo, I get yer point.....
