1. I no longer pay income taxes (legally on the first $110,000 or so)
2. I haven't had a single interaction with a policeman since I've been here. In New York City, I averaged one interaction per month.
3. I don't need prescriptions for any medications I need.
And yes, by my definition, these are personal freedoms that have been expanded. I mean, I can walk into any mall, tell them what contact lenses I need, and get them. In the US, they literally make a federal case out of such a simple thing.

Also, there have been stories recently in the news about singers going Malaysia and having to censor their shows because they are too sexy. . . if the country bans Kesha from singing because they are too controversial it seems like it might not be all that free.

Maybe I'm just a silly old man, but I'm looking at only my personal freedoms, not Kesha's. The fact that after lunch I can go to a massage parlour up the block and get a great 2 hour massage complete with hand job for $40 without worrying that the place will be raided is my idea of personal freedom.
