One of the biggest problems I see in America is that most people don't truly understand what Freedom is.

So, let me define that, as well as two other very important words for you. You would think that in [supposedly] the "freest country on Earth" that the meaning of the word Freedom word would be drummed in us from our first year of education onward, until we fully understood it's true meaning. However, it's not, for some strange reason.

Hmmm

Freedom is the absence of control over your life by way of force or coercion; the absence of constraint over your thoughts, your choices, and your actions.

If you're truly "Free," then you enjoy Liberty, which is the daughter of Freedom; the unobstructed expression of your Freedom--you, acting according to your own Free Will within the boundaries drawn around you by the Equal Rights of others. Note that I don't add "within the limits of the law." Why? Because laws are often unjust, and especially so when they violate the Natural Rights of an individual.

Of course, the opposite of Freedom is slavery, which is any system of control or exploitation which is aimed at coercing or forcing human beings to become unwillingly or unwittingly subservient to, or excessively dependent upon, any dominating influence.

So, now you know what Freedom is, I ask you, are you really Free? Do you even enjoy Liberty, or are you really just a slave living on a soon-to-become global plantation?
