Steve:
Freedom is either a "freedom from" or a "freedom to," but you need to say what 
we are free from or free to do.

I never said that freedom is bad, it's just that saying "I want freedom" is to 
say that something is bad rather than to say what is good though Americans 
especially throw the word around as if it's something good in and of itself. 
Maybe it actually is. The MOQ suggests that DQ is the "what is good" about 
freedom.

Regards,
Steve
