Not in the purest sense... we can experience levels of freedom (ie. freedom of expression), but we all have some form of limitations imposed on us. Whether it be traffic laws, the law of gravity, or what have you, no one is 100% free to do as they choose, when they choose, how they choose, and with whom they choose.

Your mind has control of all that you do. There are only a few that have been able to master their mind, giving them the ability to do what every they want. However those who do not listen to their conscious risk being caught from doing something against the law. Then they are placed in jail, where their freedom is taken away.
Life is no fun, unless there are some limits.

We are free to do things like ask questions online. This doesnt happen in every country. We are only trapped by our own goals and standards, not those imposed on us by others.
Live free, die free.

The perception of Freedom exists. Or the perception to be enslaved. You could find anything to be enslaved by. Right now work is enslaving me. So is my apathy and ambivalence.

We are free to think we are free. In the U. S. , freedom left years ago.

ofcoarse we're not completely free.. would you really want to be tho.. imagine if we were completely free...it wouldnt be a pretty sight.Some one and something will always infringe on your freedom... I think M.r Lennon was smoking a blunt when he wrote Imagine..because, if you really imagine that.. it wouldnt be the way he potrayed it.

freedom is limited with responsibility, so we can be trapped by our conscious only...
