Let freedom ring.
But what is freedom?
Everyone seems to have a different definition.
For me it’s the freedom to do what I the ■■■■ (within my parameters of my “don’t bother people”principles) I want without pesky govt telling me I can’t.
I would love to hear how others define freedom.

Letting everyone do their own thing. As long as it isn’t harming anyone and is between consenting adults.
And … for heaven’s sake, let’s try to avoid a pedantic discussion on the difference between liberty and freedom.
I can’t be so succinct… mainly because - to me - there are more impediments to freedom than the Government. But even within the context of “the government”, I have trouble dissociating “freedom” from “responsibility” since I am a supporter of what has been called the social contract.
So I have fewer declarative sentences than I do rhetorical questions on the matter. That does not mean that I view freedom only philosophically and do not recognize real threats to my freedom.
I have very few of what might be called a “line in the sand”. But presented with an obstacle to my freedom that crosses such a line, my mind instantly goes into a mode of developing a means of circumvention, escape, or a solution to counter the obstacle. And if I can arrive at such a solution and implement it, am I not free? Or must my freedom require no effort from me?
There are laws of the land that make up the sides of the sandbox I live in and outside of that, government…get the hell out of my sandbox.
We have similar thoughts. 
I have it. Other than an aging body, taxes and cultural excesses being an annoyance, I have a life of pretty much unfettered freedom.
Freedom’s just another word for “nothing left to lose.”
Freedom from and liberty to.
An important distinction.
The difference between the two is hardly unimportant.
