Can we stop saying things like "more freedom"? Freedom is really poorly defined even to an individual, and tends to lead to sentences like "they hate our freedom".

You could very well argue that freedom means absolutely no laws, absolutely no government, no public sector, period. You could also very well argue that freedom means being able to be confident that you have access to medical care, education, and child-support regardless of who you are, or your income level.

Freedom doesn't actually _mean_ anything anymore, it's just a political catch-phrase.

Can I rephrase your post and say "less government support would scare Francois..."?
