Isn't freedom merely shorthand way of saying "getting what you want"?

I think your view of freedom might be a little narrow...  Just my experience now, but I know a bunch of folks who are happy living within the framework of an equitably governed society with reasonable laws and mores, and just want the freedom to suceed within those rules.  Of course, we are all reasonably successful, so that makes it easier.

Personally, I still think Texas should succeed from the union...

HAHA!

Everyone would be happy for Texas to succeed. Secede on the other hand...

damn you got me!  shows you don't need an education to be successful!  :)
