Freedom..or Lack Of

In WE I found that freedom is a pretty serious topic there and different from what we have today.  They have nothing like what we consider freedom today.  We aren't confined into a space with a wall all around our whole state.  We aren't running a "table of hours" and we definitely don't need a pink slip to have sex.  They're controlled by the benefactor where as we can do anything under certain circumstances.  Also we actually have names, where they have a letter and numbers because thats how they're defined.  We have laws but nothing as strict as some of their rules/laws that they have.  They're all controlled and told what to do in a small space so there is no freedom for them, or their freedom is a lot less free than what we have today.
