| Viper1 said: What most people in the US mean by freedom is the establishment and protection of personal liberty. Has nothing to do with wanting the world to comform to them but wanting the authority in power to remain limited in its authority as established by the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. For those in many 3rd world nations, freedom means the release from an oppressive or tyrannical regime. |
And I will ask if that is what people, deep down, really want. Or do they more likely want to get what they want to get in life. They don't want their ability to do things hindered, and they want to have the means to get what one wants. Would people chose to be in a place where they can go anywhere, where limits on resources restrict what they will get, or live in a prison of sorts where every whim is tended to, balanced by some restrictions a person wants, to prevent them from undermining what they really want to get, like good health and so on?
