Liberty for me but not for thee

The US is known as the land of liberty. But do we really trust others with liberty?

Parents give their children choices within a certain menu. A child who wants to veer off the well-trodden path may test her parents’ support for liberty. In fact, the necessity to shepherd and control is pretty well everywhere from family structure to the workplace, from associational work to social gatherings.

Don’t be too odd at the next dinner party you attend or more than likely you will be dropped off the future invitee list. The US is the flag carrier for the right to be free. But there seems to be a premise to even staunch stalwarts of freedom. People don’t really think about it. But it’s there.

It goes like this- you can be free if you’re like me.
