Sure, let's all puff ourselves up and declare that "dammit, let's waste as much as we can afford 'cause we're free to do it!".
This shortsighted mentality is what is wrong with America. If we weren't depleting the world's resources so that we were "free" to drive a SUV to the mall, then we'd be "free" of our dependence on foreign oil, we'd be "free" to not have to send our boys to be killed every time the Middle East flares up, we'd be free of the fanatical movements that see America as the devil that drinks their country's only real resource, and we'd be "free" of all the draining costs of proping up corrupt Middle Eastern dictators.
That would be real freedom. What we have now is dependence, not freedom.
