Not saying I don't like my country (Socratic Seminar Notes)

The Socratic seminar on Friday was very interesting. I read the Article and I was really interested on how true it was. Do we really have an opinion to what we want? I believe that our country up front is "land of the free" but then when it comes to it do are we really free. I say this because we have laws and rights but I feel like everything has a loop hole or way out.
