Only As Free As They Let You Be

As American citizens we are given liberty and freedom and for this I am grateful.However it seems to me that our freedom is controlled in a very subtle way.Not necessarily by the laws we have to live by (freedom doesn't allow us to be criminals).They control our freedom by giving us unnecessary rights.For example, why should I have need for the right to free speech if I already have freedom and liberty?To me, freedom and liberty gives me all the rights that our government "gives us".Giving rights to us limits our freedom.This is one of the ways that they decide how free they'll let you be.
