I never said any such thing and you know it. I don't want to hijack uwot's thread, so I suppose I'll respond where the discussion was. You didn't have a point. You never defined what you meant by 'freedom' (no one ever does), and there was nothing I wrote that any normal person couldn't easily understand, and my own comprehension skills are fully intact. It's not my fault you like to talk in riddles, won't define what meaning you are giving the word, and assume others will be able to read your mind. At what point in history did your version of 'freedom' exist? Even 'abstract concepts' have to have some kind of point or logic to them. Bob likes to throw the word 'freedom' about too. I think he defines it as being able to buy any kind of gun you want, and as many as you want. Pretty cowardly btw to hijack a thread to continue a tedious, uphill 'argument' on another thread, that I thought was over with.
'Freedom' = a time when the was a handful or less of people on earth...before laws...before borders...before rules...before cities.
Any form of civilization picks away at freedom. Whether or not that is in humanities best interest is in the eye of the beholder.
Some desire to be fettered and some don't but your use of the word 'freedom' to me sounds as if you have no idea what the word even means.
Let's just leave it like that...
