By definition: FREEDOM, LIBERTY, LICENSE mean the power or condition of acting without compulsion.

Does anyone have a relatively short overview of their perception of freedom as it's expressed in U.S. society.

Or maybe "what other areas could freedoms be restored to compensate for any freedom lost in the Pact"?

I think of the number of people in American prisons ..... what is it, like one in ten adult males?

I think people would be more inclined to give up some of their freedoms if the "Freedom pool" wouldn't shrink.
