Freedom and Liberty are not the same thing. You say freedom but you mean liberty. Freedom is what you have when you follow the "rules" and they let you do some stuff without too much hassle. Liberty is living by your own rules.

Liberty is not safe. If it was safe it would be because you are doing something nobody wanted and it wouldn't be worth anything. The one time I was truly free I had an armed drone circling me, snipers around me and was waiting for the heavy hand of the US government to fall on me.
