Now you can tell people how awesome it would be if the entire world became afflicted with eleutheromania, and then run off laughing maniacally as they wonder what you're talking about.

  It wasn't me but it seems like you're making fun of those of us who take freedom seriously. Are you an eleutheroist? Or eleutherophobic?

    I wasn't making fun of anyone. How did you get that impression?

      I did
      n 't mark it down but Maph that was my impression as well. The term seems derogatory to me.

        Alright, well I didn't mean it to be derogatory, nor was I intentionally making fun of anyone. I just thought it was an interesting and funny sounding word, and I thought people here might like it because it's about freedom.

        well it has the word mania in it-which is the polar opposite of reason. I guess that was my take. but I was waiting for others to comment in case I was being too sensitive, which clearly I was ;)
