No, no, no. You're not seeing the distinction. "Freedom" is a good thing, and the US has more of it that anyone else. In fact, members of the American government have been known to say that they have all of the freedom. Civil liberties, on the other hand, are bad. Look at that word "civil". What does it make you think of? Things like "civil service" - we all know they're lazy and wasting the taxpayers' money. Or how about "civil engineering"? That's all about sewage. Clearly civil liberties are bad and have nothing to do with freedom.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Megan, the civil servant (I hope that doesn't have anything to do with sewage)

Always happy to entertain ...
Yes, Nora got a bunch of comics last year. Some of them were pretty good, too! That's what introduced us to Ultimate Spider-Man, which is lots of fun.

I could? What's it like? (If you've got a link to an article, feel free to post it instead of describing it yourself.)

I never imagined I'd have the opportunity to pimp being an Actuary.
