Freedom is a sensation.
It's almost ludicrous to think of how many men and women have fought and died for the American idea of freedom: a man in a voting booth with a pencil, choosing which box to check. Real freedom, the kind of freedom we are fighting for, is something much grander--it means creating the choices you choose between, for starters. A better illustration is the musician in the act of playing with her companions: in joyous, seemingly effortless cooperation, they actively create the sonic and emotional environment in which they exist, participating thus in the transformation of the world which will in turn transform them. Take this model and extend it to every moment of our lives--now that would be real freedom!
We have only "choice."
