[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1436923, member: 27490"] I appreciate you placed the blame where it belongs. See highlights Not only is freedom an illusion, in a philosophical sense, it is an impossibility captured by the old cliche "your freedom is bounded by where my freedom begins". Absolute freedom would translate to [i]He who is mightier is free and the weak are his subjects.[/i] That has been the way of much of world history and continues in many governments today, example, Zimbabwe. If you give a man total freedom, then he has freedom to enslave other men, thereby, freedom is only a matter of who can enforce their will on the rest of mankind. Our founding fathers recognized those limits and defined freedom as you stated very well: [b]our founding fathers believed in rights as being very basic, every person is born with them and should not be infringed upon by another..liberty, life, speech, assemble, protect yourself and your property. The individual was the focus.[/b] [/QUOTE]
