That's right. In Europe, that word "freedom" doesn't even exist.
Rousseau, Voltaire and Pascal ... who were they, anyway?

You can fly GA or ultralight 1,000 ft above the Norwegian parliament
and the King's residence in the uncontrolled zone over Oslo. You don't
even need 2-ways radio communication ... How's that over Washington?
.. sorry, guys, but you asked for it.

Keith, I think you might spend a little time finding out why the pilgrims
left Europe. The heridary rule of kings had largely ended by 1300 and power
rested largely with parliament. The pilgrims left to escape the wrath of the
Church of England shortly after 1600. It was the first notion of the idea of
a separation of church and state although I'm unsure they thought of it that
way. They had certainly had enough of the the "church state" and might well
have stayed if parliament or the King had the power to stay the church's
hand.
I know you are force fed the notion that "freedom" is the sole purview of
America but the fact is that most nations have at least as much personal
freedom, and many have more. When you spew forth the retoric of "land of
the free" you might be insulting a lot of people you know little about.

Please continue this thread off-list. As much as I love freedom,
discussion of its merits and origin are definitely outside the scope
of the Kitfox list.
