What is "freedom"?

[hanselthecaretaker]

To me it means having no laws. Plain and simple. Of course, this would mean chaos, so in order to have true freedom, we must have chaos. The only variable would be an individual's moral character. However, I'm sure a lack thereof could easily be dealt with in a lawless world.

This is my way of saying there are too many laws and regulations these days.

On a side note- I for one have more respect for the person who tries to outrun the cops when being chased for a speeding violation instead of merely pulling over like society's beaten dog.

Rock on, brother (or sister); rock on.

freedom is the courage to be oneself.

Both very good answers.

future posters remember not to focus on what you want freedom from.

Remember to address what you want freedom FOR?

Both facets are equally important.

PC-ness is a major violation of freedom.

Most definately.

Regulations are established to make sure those in power stay in power. Ironically though, it's the less-powerful who put people in positions to pass additional regulations.
