It's impossible to untangle the contradictions of American freedom without thinking about Jefferson and the spiritual abyss that separates his pronouncement that "all men are created equal" from the reality of the human beings he owned, slept with and never imagined as fellow citizens. American freedom aspires to be universal, but it has always been exceptional because America is the only modern democratic experiment that began in slavery. From the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it took a century for the promise of American freedom to even begin to be kept.

I think it really depends on what type of person you are because it differs with everyone. Some Americans take their freedom for granted and push the law to its limits, some people think that freedom here is our's and no one else should be able to have it, and some people do appreciate it. In school we've always been taught that we are one of the only places on earth that are free and just, but there are probably hundreds of other countries that have freedom and democracies. The truth is with what has been going on recently and for centuries, America is not such a great place, and our "freedom" here can be taken away in an instant if it suits other people's needs. So yes I would say that at least my relationship to freedom is complex.
