What do you hear when people say freedom?

"freedom of choice"

i think the two words, 'freedom' and 'choice', exclude one another

if you follow my postings in this thread, i equate the individual and choice...i believe them equivalent, synonymous

that is: to BE an individual one must choose, and to choose one must BE an individual

if 'freedom' is a fiction, a fiction most often offered up as privilege to the governed by the governors, then it can't have anything to do with 'choice' since 'choice' is integral to the individual who exercises it

that is: 'choice' can't be taken away from the agent, nor can it be granted to the agent by another

so: 'freedom of choice' is an error...in my opinion... --henry
