Freedom lost...

Freedom isn't really strange... it's just elusive. We're losing ours (US) and everybody just watches hoping for the best! Good article!!!

Hello!
I agree with you, it is worrying that US freedoms are diminished. This can happen in any country.

"Strange freedom" is an ironic expression. Governments promise to improve your quality of life and reduce your freedoms in exchange.

The governments promise to improve your economy but you increase taxes, and if you work more your taxes multiply also. They promise you security and wellbeing but decrease the freedom of the press and there are more and more cameras in the streets that control you.

You work to keep them in power and in return they keep you prisoner of the system.

Very well said! Ben Franklin once said that "anyone willing to trade freedom for security, deserves neither."

The only way government can aid the economy, is to stay out of it (I have an MA in economics)
