my point is: any talk of "freedom" when you are a corporate slave or living on government handouts is nonsense

it is all wannabe lemon-stand freedom.

IMHO, freedom is not one thing or even a value. It's a concept that applies to a lot of stuff, speech, thought, association, and tool use included. In practice, one has some freedoms but not some others. I fail to see any need to have them all to be able to discuss about one in particular.
blurring lines of definitions, I see. you can call a potato a freedom, if you wish. this is just counter-productive. arguing about definitions is dangeours slippery slope.
