In the United States, who has genuine "freedom?"

1. those who have the $$s and power to buy it n/t

[Kerrytravelers]

2. not me.

No one is "spreading freedom" for me. Freedom isn't "on the march" in my house.


God I hate *.

5. They have no freedom. They need security guards to protect them

they are living in glass bubbles. Stones, anyone.....

3. People who live on large trust funds.

Otherwise a person is pretty much a slave to one person or another.

4. Well, you've sent me to the dictionary for this one (just to be 'sure') ;-

freedom: the quality or state of being free. The absence of necessity, coercion,, or constraint in choice or action. b) liberation from slavery or restraint from the power of another; independence

In answer to your question, I can't think of a single being or entity in the United States that enjoys such freedom (that doesn't mean that we shouldn't "try", does it????

6. As Janis said...

...Freedom is just another word
for Nothing Left to Lose!

7. Vagrants

Everyone else is slave to the man or to their own belongings.

8. Agree

You're on the right track. There are times when I've contemplated hitting the road, and with only one rule: "If you can't carry it on your back, you don't need it".


King Of The Road

by Miller Roger



Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.

I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
