Breathes again, thank you for your considered replies mkemse and Lady Dena. I wish to take a bit of time before I critique the statement within those terms. Quite simply I do not have information to do so without some research.

I do take your points about personal/cultural differences in interpretation, and that is one of the joys of belonging to a community like this. I can see the difference between freedom/liberty and prosperity, although my perception is that without adequate prosperity to ensure a basic level of health and education, the freedoms and liberties which you mention are an irrelevant luxury.
