" I myself am human and free only to the extent that I acknowledge the humanity and liberty of all my fellows... I am properly free when all the men and women about me are equally free. Far from being a limitation or a denial of my liberty, the liberty of another is its necessary condition and confirmation."
Michael Bakunin

Dear Dingus,
So, do you agree with the quote? It seems that if freedom of everyone else is required for our own, we're almost gauranteed to not be free in this life - tragic.
Can everyone else have freedom at the same time anyway? Eg, must Hitler have freedom, too? If he must, he'd be using his to take away the freedom from a lot of other people. That is, if he weren't dead.
Sincerely,
Thomas
