How Free Are We? Really? By Selwyn Duke
We Americans take great pride in our freedom. We call ourselves “the land of the free, home of the brave,” have Lady Liberty in New York Harbor, and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. America is synonymous with freedom in the minds of most people. Much of the rest of the world, however, is thought a land of darkness which doesn’t benefit from our unencumbered bliss. Thus do we speak of the free and unfree worlds.
In reality, it’s not that simple. There is neither such a thing as a people with complete freedom nor one completely bereft of it; it’s a matter of degree.
While many people realize this, few understand that there is a barometer with which liberty can be measured: The number of laws in existence.
