That kind of freedom does not exist anywhere; and insisting on it is akin to demanding Utopia. Never was, never will be.
What we do have is free enough. So much about freedom depends upon the beholder, and the beholders do not think alike. The best anyone can do is always going to be a compromise in a REAL world.
Be happy for what you have. Do not lament for what you will never have.

I can't really argue with that. Not because I agree with you, but because with that kind of complacency I know I'd never get through to you. I, for one, will never stop fighting for the way things SHOULD be. What we have right now is not nearly free enough and is getting worse every single day.
