Well, I think you're just reinforcing their point. If freedom doesn't give you anything good, such as food, clothes, friends, health, career, etc. Then what's the point? Freedom used to mean these things, it was a way to see that you were in charge of your destiny in a realistic way. That the opportunities would be there, if you were only willing to take them, no one would stop you, you could be anything you wanted if you just walked the part. If that's not true anymore, if freedom no longer leads to happiness, comfort and health, then maybe its time to go back to the drawing board.
