Freedom vs Liberty

Submitted by Erudite on Sat, 01/05/2008 at 6:50am.

People have things a little mixed up... Freedom is the ability to make choices, Liberty is the right to make right choices. Unless we can educate people to make right choices, how will they know the difference.

I'm often confused about what the right choices are. And sometimes, even when I know I ought to choose correctly, I find I don't have the willpower to (ie, smoking/drinking). I know the choices I am making some times are wrong, but I cannot seem to stop... I'm not sure education alone is enough... unless you mean education in a wider context? I'm curious.
