[Trisquel-users] Re : Dual Booting Trisquel Complications

Freedom is being in control, not being restrained. For instance, free speech  
is about being able to express whatever you want. No restriction. In your  
house example, as long as its inhabitant *chooses* all the security measures,  
she is free. Those measures make her life less convenient but more secure.

In the case of GRUB, a password does not make the system more secure in most  
cases (but in the rare contexts I was discussing above). Only more  
inconvenient. But the user is free anyway. She is in control of her GRUB. She  
can disable the GRUB password. No restriction.
