My point wasn't exactly about marking territories as it was to be able to move freely, live freely within confines of acceptable decent human behavior.

I like your question about Freedom, its a simple question that opens such a wide area to discuss and ponder, "We know the difference between the reality of freedom and illusion of freedom." This, for those who don't recognize, is a movie quote, and the actor was John Trudell. John Trudell was known for his activism and political views about Indians or Native Americans. And although this was a movie quote, there are many people, myself included that believe in the concept.
I'm considered an elder amongst some of my people, and one generation away from people that were free and still straddled two areas continents before they were became countries. A time before so many imaginary lines were drawn to mark territory. I like your question about Freedom. Yet how can one ponder it without revealing their feelings about contemporary nations that exist today, for comparison of a New Nation?
