For my sins, I have to translate this time-honoured U.S. propaganda cartoon Make Mine Freedom ~ 1948 - YouTube entitled 'Make Mine Freedom'.
Q1: The title. Why 'mine' freedom? Is it a set expression? If so, what might its origin be then?
Q2 concerns the 'Crabtree Corners' in 'cracker-barrel philosophers at Crabtree Corners'. While cracker-barrel philosophers is OK, 'crabree corners' is [STRIKE]another pain in the arse [/STRIKE] a snag. Is it a popular appellative?
Thanx a million
