I always thought of freedom in a more physics sort of sense - a lack of opposition to what you try to do. I do understand giving up certain freedoms and protecting others. It's just talk about fighting for freedoms makes it sound like we start with none and have to fight for each one, rather than starting completely free and giving up parts of it to live with each other. Looking around at society, I suspect I'm the naive one, but I'm going to hang onto it for as long as I can.
I've got buckets more ideas on the subject but I'm going to go educate myself before I babble in public.
