The Grand Inquisitor Meets Free Information

Line: 55 to 55
 I wish I could capture my thoughts on this topic a bit more faithfully in words. The question of what implications the Grand Inquisitor's charges have for understanding privacy and for constitutional interpretation strikes me as a very worthwhile topic for further discussion.

I'm interested in the novel's solutions to the problem posed here - that man doesn't want freedom because the choice to choose burdens him, so he has passed that choice/responsibility onto the owners of culture as defined by the law. The solutions to this problem are to offer man freedom anyway, and make him understand he can have both bread (security? livelihood? safety?) and freedom. I'm interested in your thoughts on how this could play out - why wouldn't man still be burdened by his freedom, even if he could also have "bread"? Or is implicit in the rejection of freedom the fear that freedom means giving up "bread"?
