I guess its the "Free world" and "Freedom" isn't working for a lot of people. When the word "Freedom" is so embedded in American culture many do not seem to realise that freedom for the one might be the prison for another. Or as sang by Janis Joplin: "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"
Walter,
