To David, Freedom doesn't mean to do whatever you want. You need to study this a little more. It simply means to do what you want without intruding on the rights of others. A European might not understand freedom because they never had it. We once had freedom here in the United States. Freedom from an oppressive government. But it's been so long that most people don't even know what it feels like to be truly free. But things are quickly getting worse and more and more people will soon see the lack of freedom they really have. The movie America: Freedom to Fascism would give you an idea of what the other posters meant by freedom and slavery. Think George Orwell and 1984, that world is fast approaching us all.
