...demands visceral, spiritual discipline. Freedom can be based only on firm ethical and legal norms, and these norms have to be hammered out and strengthened for centuries by those who fought for freedom. But we received our freedom as a gift from our masters' hands. Ten years ago, Russia swore by freedom--and measured its worth by the availability of sausage.
