There's no such thing as a trade for either they are an illusion. No where in the world when you interact with other humans you are never "safe." Also no matter what you are never truely free, society has standards for you to follow to belong.
I think that we only have the illusion of being free. From birth we are raised in our "tribes" persay and to a certain extent there are always going to be barriers and rules that we must follow.
However being an American and unhappy with the current attempts and agruements about limiting personal freedoms and choices (aka: gay marriage arguement, etc) I'm not sure I'd be one to talk. I'm a bit cynical about Freedom when my country is making war in another country to bring them "democracy and freedom" while in their own country they are taking away a woman's right to choose and homosexual's rights to marry their lovers.
