How does the average American know that they're Free?

Mostly it is a belief in myths and legends and it is also a belief held almost exclusively by the privileged classes. No poor person from the inner city labours under such delusions.

We can worship without worrying about getting the door kicked in. We can talk smack about the government without worrying about retribution. We can go to naughty video arcades and spank it. We can watch just about anything imaginable and spank it. We can stand on two sides of a street and scream at each other in large groups with weapons and ammunition on our person. We can block traffic and march down the street screaming for the brutal murder of police officers under police escort. We can be stupid unto failure and smart unto success to our hearts content! We are pretty damn free. We are pretty damn molly coddled too! Unfortunately we are about to do the political evolution boogie again!

We have individual freedom to choose. People come here for the freedom that America has. All Americans know they are free.

And I love how some ppl actually think they are free.
