Liberation!

Don't we just love being liberal?

Freedom from illiteracy and innumeracy due to education (thank you, Catholics).
Freedom from religious restrictions (stuff you, church).
Freedom from dictators (thank you, WW2).
Freedom to protest against going to war (stuff you, soldiers).
Freedom to vote for government (thank you, revolutionaries).
Freedom to ban people from supporting particular parties (stuff you, democracy).

And, more recently, we have:

Freedom of religion.
Freedom to teach children that scientific 'something from nothing by accident' is the only explanation for the world.
Freedom to call Christians 'bigots'.
Freedom to sue a bakery for not making us the exact cake we want.
Freedom to be forced to employ people of all nationalities/religions.
Freedom to be investigated if an employee becomes a Muslim extremist.
Freedom from marriage.
Freedom from committed relationships.
Freedom from sexual identity.

And now, freedom from having to justify our views. Just claim we're being discriminated against and organisations can make it their policy.

Such a wonderful society we live in!
