Thoreau's definition of freedom, and an American's comparison.

Acording to Thoreau, are Americian's free? This is an intriguing question with an even mor interestion answer. 
Americans we value our "freedom". It's one of the cornerstones of our nation, Its in our constisution. It's one of the spots of rediculus arumentation in congress, and it's somrthing we all share a love for. 
But are we actully free by Thoeau's definition? 

No, by 
Thoeau's Definition of freedom we are not free. Freedom is the absence of conformity, comforming to a norm, no matter what kind, if you can be catagorized and filed, then you are not free.

Us Americians love our ability to match social circles and to file others into steriotypes. because of this we are in chains, chains that we are not willing to let go of. We as Americians are not fee, not untill we let go of our dependince on steriotypes, get out from our "clicks" and find a world to learn from.
