that politics thing again

the things people seem to forget about personal freedom is that it's personal. you can't blow some crap up declare someone free. you can't give birth to them on a specific landmass and thus ensure their freedom. you can't vote everyone free, or talk about it and decide to be free.
you already are free. everyone. you live in your environment and you make your choices. no one's going to feel very free until everyone realizes that they are free, but it's fundamentally a case-by-case basis, and the only case that matters is your own.

meanwhile, large portions of the world are not worried about whether or not they have truly accepted responsibility for their lives and decided to live it for what it is. they're more worried about eating, and having somewhere to sleep, and not dying of horrible diseases. i don't know, but it appears from here than mainly only Americans spend much time talking about how free they are.
and the human condition remains only human.
