Question:

What makes you think you are free?

On this 4th of July week-end holiday do you really feel free about anything and do you know how to feel more in control of your own life.It seems like every aspect of life controls us.
What do you do to be free or at least feel like you are in control of something?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: We're free to do anything we wish, provided what we wish to do isn't something the government doesn't want us to do.

Freedom is merely the individual choice to confine the scope of desires and ambitions to those contained within the fences constructed by government.

We're free as birds, though the birds we're free as are the ones in cages.
