Even Greener Pastures

It is all about power. I mean in a broad sense of that word like money, muscles (military force), institutional position in a society etc. Freedom or Liberty (aren't they interchangeable words?) is ability to do anything you want as long as you have power to do it without any repercussions.  Rights is very abstract meaningless term on its own. If you have a power, you have rights. If you don't have a power, you have no any rights. If you meet  a guy with  a gun and you don't have one, you are basically screwed, no matter what is written on some papers or  stones or whatever. And what is the law? As long as you have power to enforce it, it will work. On the other hand, if you have a power, you can break the law without consequences.
