It's not MY definition. It's the commonly accepted definition of freedom. Doing what you want without being molested by another or having your rights trampled upon.
What does free mean to you? Being robbed at the point of a gun? Having another country tell yours what to do under threat of violence or financial restrictions?
Why don't you start offering up what YOU think freedom is. You obviously seem to think America is free right now. So you must think a government that doesn't abide by limitations on its powers, that attacks civil rights instead of defending them, that starts unprovoked wars against non-threatening nations, that practices imperialistic tyrrany and terrorism under the guise of stopping terrorism, etc. is free. But hey I might be wrong.
Why don't you tell us what you think freedom is.
