What is "freedom" and how much of it should be allowed? This is a question that has plagued me for a while now as I read books, magazines, watch television, and listen to people tell me all sorts of things about it that, in many ways, contradict eachother. Some say that freedom is the complete lack of restrictions, others say that freedom is the ability to do what one wants within certain limitations, while still others say that people can be truly free only when they have their lives controlled by others (i.e. the government) and thus do not have to worry about much of anything. I am of the belief that there will never be a perfectly "free" society that operates smoothly in a way that allows everyone to be happy or content, but if there was such a place, what would it look like?
