    That's not true. People scream when they are angry, for instance...
    Lime roots and treachery!

      That's what I think too...

      And then probably crying or shouting out as JohnT and loinburger said (unless he's really going ballistic).

        Okay, shouting it is. Thanks, all...

          Cry Freedom, like the film etc.

            Damn, I don't think I ever edited a news item more often: changed the title 3 times, got into an argument with the news script over which quote-signs I was allowed to use and credited the wrong person for the news tip

              Well, I would yell:

              I am FREE!

              Though "freedom" equates to being free, you would not yell "freedom," but rather the word "free." Is this what you mean Locutus?

                I would say "cried out freedom"

                At least that's how I would describe what Mel Gibson does at the end of Braveheart
                Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.

                  Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?

                    I would agree with that.

                    "Free at last" is a common expression when a burden or commitment is liften.

                            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                              I have known women to scream in other... shall we say more joyous circumstances ! (Though I've never heard them scream "Freedom")
                              There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
