What is Freedom?

If the world was created for us to all exist upon it's natural resources and survive off of nature; who said it was right and even moral to put a price tag on everything that is natural and our basic rights as human beings born naturally to a world that is here to facilitate our existences? I pay for electricity...why is that? For Natural Gas...why is that? For a roof over my head? Why can't I just go somewhere, ANYWHERE and setup my own homestead? Without some government or what have you telling me that you cannot live here? Why the fuck not?? Why is it I have to pay on a house for 30 years when it should just be an "inalienable" RIGHT to live where and how I choose? Another thing!! Do you realize that it is us that are now paying to drink water? The same water that is not good enough for us to "consume", but good enough for them to feed our crops with? Outside of rain, do irrigation systems use filtered water...or water pumped from the rivers that are now "too dirty and contaminated" for our own consumption???

I don't think freedom exists in a pure form.

And who is supposed to supply you with these nice things, free of charge? What about their freedom? Huh?!

Freedom means freedom to act, to not be coerced, not having your every desire fulfilled free of charge. Anytime you try to "free people from hunger," for example, in order to force this to happen you must enslave those who would actually produce the food in question.

Spoiled people want everything for free and never question who will provide these things.
Fear is the mind-killer.
