Freedom's Just Another Word for Pissing People Off

Freedom, therefore, must possess the intrinsic authority and ability to occasionally piss people off.
Or — to not piss anyone off at all…but at least possess the option. Those of superior rank, those of elevated station, those with letters in back of their names, those who hold “chits” on other persons in positions of enormous power — they have to be able to get red-faced, screaming, shouting, plate-throwing goblet-shattering mad, and not able to do a single thing about it. While you go on your merry way. Watching South Park, or blogging, or driving wherever you want. -- House of Eratosthenes
