Everything is relative

Everything can be compared to other things, which I don't think is the same thing.

But if you are comparing, it's not a great country compared to what it was when it was more free.

What particular freedoms have you lost? What are you not free to do?

I know there are many things we can't do that those before could. An example being our ancestors could shoot all the ducks they wanted - we are regulated by game laws --- is this bad? There are many such cases and some may be a real burden; however, "relative" to other cuntries we enjoy much freedom.

What specifically would you change relative to your freedoms (examples)?
