“Liberty and Freedom are complex concepts. They go back to religious ideas of Free Will and are related to the Ruler Mystique implicit in absolute monarchs. Without absolute monarchs patterned after the Old Gods and ruling by the grace of a belief in religious indulgence, Liberty and Freedom would never have gained their present meaning. These ideals owe their very existence to past examples of oppression. And the forces that maintain such ideas will erode unless renewed by dramatic teaching or new oppressions. This is the most basic key to my life.”
― Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune

I just stumbled upon your blog and this post and am now following you, as I like your content very much.
Regarding this post of yours, I also touch upon the subject of freedom and liberty as a backbone to the recent launch of my online school The Liberty Academy. You can read my take on these in our About Us section.
Unfortunately, too few people even question whether they are free or not.
