We are way beyond living in a "free" country, GfinS... Freedom is something that only a small segment of our population enjoy...

Spend a little less time with your rich friends who think that FREEDOM is universal and a little more time around the half of America that lives one 125% of poverty or less and then come back and lecture us about freedom...

You sound very much like a silver spooner who lectures the poor for being poor... Very condescending and narrow minded...
