Ken-Dogger: Morning Cleo, what up?
Cleo: Looking up dangerous words…
KD: Really, what did you find?
C: Happened upon this one, FREEDOM…
KD: Oh yes, heard about it…
C: Is it the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint, or is it the power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity?
KD: It’s both, but seems it depends on where you live.
C: That’s why it’s dangerous, it’s not absolute.
