I can analyze any information I receive and reach my own conclusions. I know that I am not free from my parent's influence on me as a child. From recent research I know that my Mother had a tremendous influence on my intelligence. Mother who read to their children and stimulate them to learn increases the child's IQ. Tell me what we are not free from?!
