Excellent scene, on every level. Need to rewatch the whole thing -- it's been far too long. So, given my limited knowledge regarding this topic, if you don't want to be a slave to the system, it seems that there are two choices: Either opt out of the system entirely (start your own village, live off the grid, etc.) or do as Andy does and find the loopholes. Is there something I'm leaving out? Perhaps it's a faulty analogy but I had libertarian-minded friends who didn't approve of the government's excess spending, but were basically of the mind that hey, if the government's going to be so stupid, might as well take as advantage of it. So they lived off unemployment and kept claiming that check, year after year. I'm not saying it's necessarily the "right" way but it's a way.
