You mean like how homosexuals can't be legally married in most states? Or do you mean like how sodomy is illegal is some states? Or do you mean why I can't buy hardcore porn DVDs in Cincinnati, Ohio simply because they don't allow it there? Or do you mean how my passport does not allow me to travel to Cuba, Iraq, Libya or North Korea?
I'm confused about which freedom you speak of, because based on what is is supposed to mean, it's not working so well.
I understand what it is SUPPOSED to be, but you can't throw the word "freedom" around and then limit the freedoms you have. It doesn't work that way, yet that is the way we are force fed it. Either a man / woman is free (totally free) or he / she is not. No limits.
