FREE FREE FREE

If we assume that "FREE" means the absence of cost, then most of the free offers that you see on television or in ads in newspapers and magazines, or hear on radio are in fact NOT free at all.

If they want your credit or debit card or checking account information, it's not free. If they want to charge you shipping and/or handling, it's not free. If you must purchase something to get something free, it's not free! Even if you are required to cancel within a certain period of time or be charged, that is not free.

The word "FREE" is the biggest con in our capitalistic society. "Buy two of these and you will receive one of those." The cost of that one of those is covered by the price of the two of these. Nothing is FREE. Think about it.
