Independence of Thought

Most men, I am convinced, have an unmistakable feeling at the final moment of significant choice that they are making a free decision, that they can really decide which one of two or more roads to follow.

As the United States just held its Independence Day celebrations, I'm stuck wondering what real freedom is.  Our country has a horrific history of slavery, genocide, and racism.  No, I don't hate my country, I just don't get caught up in all the national pride.  

As a global race of humans, I'd love more individual independence as we consider the ultimate goal of bettering each and every one of us.
