by the way:

"Nicholas Maxwell (1984) defines freedom as 'the capacity to achieve what is 
of value in a range of circumstances'. I think this is about as good a short 
definition of freedom as could be. In particular, it appropriately leaves 
wide open the question of just what is of value. Our unique ability to 
reconsider our deepest convictions about what makes life worth living 
obliges us to take seriously the discovery that there is no palpable 
constraint on what we can consider."
