Freedom isn’t something that is just simply given to us, although needless to say, many of us do take these things for granted. I can also say that even I have taken freedom for granted once or twice. We are given the freedom to choose who we marry or even what we wear. In America, we may make ourselves whatever or whoever we like. In America, we can make a place for ourselves in the world, and “put our name in lights”. In many countries they do not have freedom of petition, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, or freedom of religion like we do in America. They may be forced to be Roman Catholic or go to a specific church. Or maybe they have to say certain things about a criminal family member to media or authorities.
