  1. What is freedom, a loaded question? 'Free', as defined in Western technocracies as 'being able to do what you want', is only freedom if one dictating the extinction of humanity is freedom to them? Whereas, walking in nature's balance and giving back to her abundance does realize what one could readily call freedom; without the inconvenient detail of the determination of the extermination of all life on Earth and the Earth itself- no? 'Happy', that's another bowl of cherries entirely. A perspective should elucidate. Here, we supposedly have the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", etc., yet, since Ms. Lberty's torch was scorched, Bell cracked, knell snatched over 3 decades ago, "...we(e),...", have lost almost all rights and lefts, even the right to life; so, it's clear from our nation's backsliding away from democratic processes that the people haven't exercised their responsibility, therefore, it's Siamese twin sister, freedom, has withered like an unused muscle as well- and now, sadly, we must exorcise our rights (from self-possession) before we exercise them. Simply, freedom and happiness aren't all they're cracked up to be. And the answer, probably little. Thanks for all you All do; and have a good day :) reality
