                  applications. Liberty has reference to previous
                  restraint; freedom, to the simple, unrepressed
                  exercise of our powers. A slave is set at liberty; his
                  master had always been in a state of freedom. A
                  prisoner under trial may ask liberty (exemption from
                  restraint) to speak his sentiments with freedom (the
                  spontaneous and bold utterance of his feelings). The
                  liberty of the press is our great security for freedom
                  of thought.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   religious issues
  
      Questions which seemingly cannot be raised without touching
      off {holy wars}, such as "What is the best operating system
      (or editor, language, architecture, shell, mail reader, news
      reader)?", "What about that Heinlein guy, eh?", "What should
      we add to the new Jargon File?"   See {holy wars}; see also
      {theology}, {bigot}.
  
      This term is a prime example of {ha ha only serious}.   People
      actually develop the most amazing and religiously intense
      attachments to their tools, even when the tools are
      intangible.   The most constructive thing one can do when one
      stumbles into the crossfire is mumble {Get a life!} and leave
      - unless, of course, one's *own* unassailably rational and
      obviously correct choices are being slammed.
