Freedom is the means by which an individual can seek his or her own ends. It really doesn't do much on its own.

Really? So living in a government mandated house with a government mandated job provides the exact same satisfaction as choosing that exact house and that job and making your own way? I would choose less "ends" if given more freedom in my "means". I'd rather be a free poor man than a rich slave.
