I was half watching TV the other day when an ad for a documentary came on. It was about a U.S. navy carrier and life inside of it.
The synopses showed a female crew member stating something along the lines "We're here for freedom!" then proceeded to bomb the shit out of some third world country.
That got me thinking, what is freedom? Some people think it means letting the wealthy do whatever the fuck they want, to others it means being able to drive your dad's car and coming back home at four AM without your parents screaming at you.
I have my own personal definition. It's difficult to explain in words alone but it goes something like this: freedom is having the means, resources and opportunity to lead a dignified, secure and fulfilling life regardless of one's race,sex, religion, political allegiance or social status.
Freedom is sometimes used as a unifying banner but I suspect that freedom means different things to different people.
What does freedom mean to you?

Last Saturday, around 2:00 am, a troop of armed soldiers forced their way into my workplace. I wasn't there, but I hear they arrived by the busload and there was even a helicopter.
Why were they there? No one knows. We were never given a clear answer. And what's more, we were ordered not to make any comments to the press.
Unfortunately, the dumbed-down, simplistic, and often ignorant view of what it means to be free is prevalent here (US) at the moment. Has been for some time, actually, as it looks like you've noticed. Even worse now since it's an election year...
Do what you want cuz a pirate is free! YOU ARE A PIRATE! *goes to raid sum bootah*
You have summed it up friend.
The major problem is, when someone cries and screams about their rights being impinged upon, and they use that to block another person's rights, then the system breaks down and all you're left with is intolerance for others. In that aspect, we all want to show that each of us is endowed with inalienable rights, but what some people lack is the respect of other people's personal freedoms, and it's typically those people that we hear the most about on the news.
*steps off his soapbox*
Please forgive the rant. Just woke up.
Freedom is a nice thing to have, but, as it is with all nice things, people have a tendency to abuse it.
