"Free? You better love me. Hide or runaway from all your yesterdays."--Godsmack's Speak. Nice song. 1. First defined free. 2. Ok, now what I want to know is, is America a free country nowadays? 3. What makes a country not a free country? 4. Do you have freedom of movement here in America? 5. Do you feel vocally, socially and physically free here in America? If so, what all are you feeling free from? 6. Or, is it based on the amount of money one has that determines how free one is here in America? Does the more money equal the more freedom here in America? Speak the truth or make your peace some other way.
Personally I think America is an expensive country. And I mean that in more than one way. It most certainly is not free.
For a start, considering most people cannot build a house the way they want on land that they own, I would say no America is not a very free country.
I think freedom is not something you can describe, grant, take, or controll with politics. It's much more personal than that.
As I previously stated in another thread... no peoples can be free when they are living under a fiat system of credit and debt creation, where much of the people's labor is taxed back from them to fund bigger and better machinery for controlling the masses, while the few at the top of this system live in absolute luxury. THAT is bondage, and there are no more efficient slaves than ones who believe they're free when they're not. America is not a free country, nor has it even been. But there are no countries in the world that are free. The only people who are truly free are the indigenous people of countries like South America, who truly live outside of the system as many of them have never even had contact with what we call "civilization." We are living in a completely artificial systerm that is based around money. Therefore, it's a very inhumane system and will always lead to suffering.
