Regardless of the wording in legislation and whatnot, those in power have complete control over us.
Our rights/freedoms are a figment of our imagination.
We are "allowed" to believe we are free in order to avoid the entire population turning on the government and authority figures, the price for giving up said freedoms is the illusion of security and safety which we have been conditioned to believe we are incapable of providing for ourselves and our families.
