Interesting. David W's conditional statement below also seems to ring true once
the antecedent and consequent are switched.
"antecedent": the statement following the "if"
"consequent": the statement folowing the "then"
Could it be because one's own freedom and others' freedom are reciprocally
related (co-dependent)? Can't have one ... can't have one without the other
