Great op-ed, worth the read
What is the difference between liberty and freedom in the eyes of many Americans?
Absolutely nothing.
And therein lies not only the problem driving the culture war around coronavirus shelter-in-place orders but also arguably the crux of all fronts of America's culture wars, from guns to religion to speech to — now, it seems — haircuts.
It is a slippage skillfully leveraged by conservatives
FOR THE LAZY CREW:
"Liberty is a type of freedom defined and limited by civil society. It is not an unrestrained, unchecked license to do whatever one desires. Rather, liberty is a right constituted by the society — or, here, nation — one lives in."
in other words, in our society liberty is linked to a Constitution . . . but so are the laws.
