Thats a big 'relatively.' While we enjoy a very nice standard of living here, and we all have it pretty good, the U.S. government affects every part of your life.

Word of advice, Bulgy:
Don't shave too fine a point on someone's comments just to try make an extra paragraph - you often end up cutting yourself that way.
Snipe already acknowledged the lack of complete freedom by his use of the modifier "relatively". Jumping on and modifiying his modifier (can one even have relative relativity?) is just gas-bagging and misses his point. The bottom line is that America enjoys more freedoms than any other civilzation arguably ever has. I'd say that's pretty free even though I'm not allowed to pogo stick naked through the Mall of America.
Language is more than an exercise - it's a tool for the communication of ideas.
