That's it exactly. The tension between liberty and equality are the two opposing forces of our Republic. The growth of one necessitates the reduction of the other. Where we want that balance to lay is the root of most of our political conflicts.
Correct you are sir. Does freedom envelope it's name sake in unconditional practice or is it applied in a capacity that is not unconditional, but enacts laws that incorporate to the benefit of the many at the expense of the few, who view any laws dictating "freedom* as just the opposite...?
Tis quite the debate.
