the limits of "unlimited"

UNLIMITED: adj 1: having no limits in range or scope; "to start with a theory of unlimited freedom is to end up with unlimited despotism"- Philip Rahv; "the limitless reaches of outer space" [syn: limitless] [ant: limited] 2: without reservation or exception [syn: outright, straight-out] 3: that cannot be entirely consumed or used up; "an inexhaustible supply of coal" [syn: inexhaustible]
