In simple English, freedom is unfettered choice which originates in the self, but liberty is someone else (govern mean t)'s choice to let you go on your own, with limits (fetters). Fetters are better than slavery, but not so nice as freedom. So of course, gov't wants to promote official Liberty, while Freedom gets hidden in songs of silence, and slavery gets hidden in various deceits, but it's there.

My view is extremely different from yours, Sancho. No use conversing because I don't want to argue.
