Because of the ambiguity of &ldquo;free&rdquo;, people have long looked for alternatives, but no one has found a better term. The English language has more words and nuances than any other, but it lacks a simple, unambiguous, word that means &ldquo;free&rdquo;, as in freedom&mdash;&ldquo;unfettered&rdquo; being the word that comes closest in meaning. Such alternatives as &ldquo;liberated&rdquo;, &ldquo;freedom&rdquo;, and &ldquo;open&rdquo; have either the wrong meaning or some other disadvantage.
