Teresa’s Reviews > On Freedom > Status Update

I worry that, in my own country, the United States, we speak of freedom without considering what it is. Americans often have in mind the absence of something: occupation, oppression, or even government. An individual is free, we think, when the government is out of the way…But is the removal of something in the world really enough to liberate us? Is it not as important, perhaps even more important, to add things?
