"Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do."
This is "America's Mayor" from back in 1994 (linky).
Somehow I doubt the Founding Father's envisioned 1984's "Freedom is Slavery" slogan to define what they meant in the Declaration of Independence.
