And some things in their natural state have the most vivid color.

But in this day and age where every square inch of inhabitable land is (at least technically) under the control of a government of one of many different shapes and sizes, you're now born into a system in which it has already been decided to what extent you shall enjoy your freedom.
And, of course, the freedom we enjoy here in The United States of America (or Canadian America) is not truly freedom either.

I mean sure USA is all about the land of the free, but I'm pretty sure we were kinda sorta also about that back in the day when someone decided that them dern negros don't fully apply...

And sometime in the future I'm sure I'll be able to use that same example in reference to gays, potheads and astronauts.
But hey.
America: Freer than most.

Bottom Line: That particular issue of semantics is irrelevant.
