The word "Freedom" itself is a paradox. The statement, "America is a free country", is a paradox. Freedom is not free, is an example of irony. America is not, nor has it ever been, a free country. However, whatever little bit of independence we do have left, is being stripped from us every day. Privacy no longer exists, the Constitution no longer serves its purpose, and we, are not free.
