More Freedom!

Cullen made a great point about freedom meaning different things to different people or groups of people.  This makes me think about a posting I did earlier concerning the Puritan idea of freedom and how it differs from the idea of freedom today.  I had previously thought that the concept had just evolved over the years, but now I feel like we're just a different group of people than the Puritans and that's why we think of freedom differently.  We currently don't have to worry about the freedom of religion, whereas they did every day of their lives back in england.  Maybe how one views freedom is entirely circumstantial.
