Freedom’s just another word  

20 January 2005 | filed under Media & Politics

I thought I’d explore the internets with the following definition of freedom in mind. Some highly incongruous (and even thought-provoking perhaps) links to follow:

Freedom

1. The condition of being free of restraints.
2. Liberty of the person from slavery, detention, or oppression.
3. 1. Political independence.
3. 2. Exemption from the arbitrary exercise of authority in the performance of a specific action; civil liberty: freedom of assembly.
4. Exemption from an unpleasant or onerous condition: freedom from want.
5. The capacity to exercise choice; free will
6. Ease or facility of movement
7. Frankness or boldness; lack of modesty or reserve.
8. 1. The right to unrestricted use; full access.
8. 2. The right of enjoying all of the privileges of membership or citizenship.
9. A right or the power to engage in certain actions without control or interference.

And as we are all aware, freedom isn’t free. In some cases it costs $14.95 plus shipping. But the dream is alive, it’s doing fine and you’ve got nothing to lose.
