How do you define freedom?

To me freedom is where I can act and voice my opinion however I want without being stopped by anyone. I don't believe in anarchy, that's kind of the reason why we have organized governments nowadays :P

naw for me freedom is havin fun while not hurtin other ppl happy lottin and have a nice day!

oh and one of my favourite quotes on this :D I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. - Thomas Jefferson Most govt. officials could probably benefit from being reminded of this one

Liberty to live, learn, travel, explore, build, use what you have built or invented however you see fit, as long as it does not infringe on others' wellbeing, and generally having enough space around you to use your mind, your body, your feelings and emotions, all gifts that nature has endowed upon you, to the best of your ability, either alone, or together with whoever you wish to associate with. Terrocrats and the insane system of countries, laws and regulations that we now live in, makes true freedom a rather distant reality. I for instance, would like to grow shrooms, use ayahuasca / dmt, mescalin from cacti, and so on and so forth, psychoactives of the hallucinogenic type. These are all things that cause no violent behavior, no addiction, no strain on society or pollution on nature, on the contrary. More green plants, more art, more tolerance and happiness for all. However the governments of most countries have pigs working around the clock with their noses in sh1t, trying to sniff me out, me and all people like me, to lock away together with the most brutish murderers and rapists and sociopaths, the vilest creatures known to man. So it is true then, Freedom, by definition, must include the availability of anarchism, areas where there is no official law, no government law beyond self rule or minimal agreements between local natives. If you know such places or think of starting one, I'm in Governments, Corporations and indeed most groups that grow beyond a certain size and age, will by their very nature attempt to opress, control and limit the individual.

I like freedom and I think I live in a place with freedom. But I think some of the bad guys would use freedom as an excuses doing whatever they wanted without thinking other.
