Just like your post.

Freedom is: “The state of being free; liberty; self determination:” (Black’s Law Dictionary 1st Edition); “the power or liberty to order one's own actions” (Colins English Dictionary); “The ability to act at liberty.” (Webster’s Dictionary)

Liberty is: “The power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, except from the laws of nature.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary) Liberty is the “exemption from extraneous control.  The power of the will, in its moral freedom, to follow the dictates of its unrestricted choice, and to direct the external acts of the individual without restraint, coercion, or control from other persons.  Liberty is the right which nature gives to all mankind of disposing of their persons and property after the manner they judge most consistent with their happiness, on condition of their acting within the limits of the law of nature, and so as not to interfere with an equal exercise of the same rights by other men.” (Black’s Law Dictionary 1st ed.). Clarifying original fact, natural law intent, and de jure jurisprudence: “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” (Thomas Jefferson) “The Natural Liberty of Man is to be free from any Superior Power on Earth, and not to be under the Will or Legislative Authority of Man, but to have only the Law of Nature for his Rule.” (John Locke - second most quoted source for creation of the Constitution) “Personal liberty, or the Right to enjoyment of life and liberty, is one of the fundamental or natural Rights, which has been protected by its inclusion as a guarantee in the various constitutions, which is not derived from, or dependent on, the U.S. Constitution, which may not be submitted to a vote and may not depend on the outcome of an election. It is one of the most sacred and valuable Rights, as sacred as the Right to private property ⋯ and is regarded as inalienable.” (16 C.J.S., Constitutional Law, Sect.202, p.987). Liberty, under “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” (Declaration of Independence) – natural law, is the state of exercising all inalienable rights. “All men are created equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing the obtaining of happiness and safety.” (George Mason)

Additionally Mike, Norwalk, freedom would have to include the freedom from the obstacle and hindrances that you mentally ill children insist on. Mr Zappa correctly asserts you have no freedom. I'm sure he knew the definition. The point is like he said its an illusion with you. My point is you are not on the correct road to freedom. The typical individual of you convention appears to roam around free of manners and motals. This is not freedom to move in the direction of survival. To survive is the true freedom we must respect and achieve. How can we be free when we are all dead from your positively dispicable manners. You need to stop throwing your meaningness literary diatribes around, and ask how can I help you Mr Sillik in moving our country forward?

Mike, Norwalk : I believe I've demonstrated the highest levels of clarity, originality, mental health and competence with the contributions I've shared with you and all the contributors to Liberty tree.ca

Mike, Norwalk: You or the other contributors don't come anywhere near the clarity, originality, or competence I demonstrate time and time again. I'm not here to incur your hostility, I'm just stating the truth.
