In Europe, that freedom was taken away a long time ago. Even though they don't have ruthless, brutal dictatorships over there, they are definitely totalitarian cultures where people see themselves as subservient to the state.
“Here in the U.S. we have a lot of people who are hell-bent on abusing the freedom they have.
In Europe, that freedom was taken away a long time ago.”
One way of interpreting that is that we have too much freedom, if too many people are abusing those freedoms.
How do you go about keeping people from abusing their freedoms. Force is one way. Are there other ways?
