[Canuck Wisdom]

Well it means plenty of things to me, in plenty of contexts, but ultimately it means a lack of oppression.

I am free to smoke marijuana, and I do, but I am not free of being persecuted for it. Real freedom would mean I could do stuff like that without fearing systematic reprisal.

However, I also think some limits on absolute freedom are good, because they breed greater freedom by granting freedom from, in their suppression of other freedoms. Such as being free to live without having my home invaded by thugs, or the freedom to own possesions etc..

It can many thing. Spiritually it means the most to me, to feel empowered and unlimited, despite 'laws' or whatever else.
