Freedom

Freedom: Measured by an individual's participation in power, as used by Ralph Nader when quoting Cisero. The idea of the "wild" or wildnerness comes to mind in another context of "freedom." It is thought that with expanses of wilderness, viable bioregions in which species-populations may survive for the long-term (10,000 years, plus), one has the option, choice, to escape civilization. To be free from others.
Of course, human consciousness cannot be abandoned (short of injury or surgery), but the intent to withdraw does in some sense afford an option to be "free" from others or the State. Without the choice of wilderness, there can be no "freedom" in this sense of the term. Thoreau's efforts at Waldon Pond come to mind, but in a shallow-environmental sense of "freedom" used here in the context of wilderness.
