I've accepted it as long as I've read the post.

But now -- you're simply not right in your definition. As everybody
knows (hopefully ;-), freedom's just another word for nothing left to

Ha, we should start discussing about the dialectic of freedom. The
more you want, the more you loose it itself. Who has read Adorno's and
Horkheimer's ``Dialectic of enlightenment''?
