Not just a word

Freedom stands for something greater than just the right to act however we choose. it stands for securing that everyone has an equal opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

To most reasonable people, freedom means more than just ‘free to do whatever I want’. Taken literally, that approach would produce anarchy—every man, woman, and child for himself or herself. Fortunately, none of us has to live that way, unless in Syria, Somalia or any other disaster area.
