Freedom is a word that is often abused for political, economic and ideological ends.

Freedom !!

How about the knowledge and ability to make choices about your life?

It will never be absolute or complete; it is about choices and the ability to make them.

Individualism.

As long as they get their property tax check from me every year I reckon I'm about as free as freedom gets in America. At least on my mortgage free patch of America.

Freedoms just another word for nothin’ left to lose. ?

I'm not sure freedom is truly achievable in today's world. I live in Quebec,and i can guarantee you, nobody here is free. We are definitely the most corrupt province of Canada,and maybe North America.to be free here is impossible,you can try to go off the grid but they're waiting for you,wether it's financial or medical,one day or another you will need to dip your toes in the system. As for me,the closest i can get to freedom is, No Debts,,,yeah,no more Credit cards,no more Mortgage, nothing on credit and i never leave money in the bank, or very little if i do.I had to re-invent my whole way of living,,,not easy with a partner and 3 children,,but we did it,and my youngest is homeschooled,(which the govt hates),,,Since 2007 we started to re-invent,and today i believe we are as free as i think we can be here,,,We are damn Happy now ???

Being able to freely do as I wish. While understanding that others also have that right. As long as neither of Us enforce our ideas on another freedom is attainable.
