I'll suggest that driving freely without the burden of responsibility to prevent my vehicle from ramming into yours, is a freedom that has been taken away from me.
I'll suggest that being able to sneeze on the back of your head without covering my mouth, because I don't feel like raising my hand or backing away from you first, is a freedom being threatened.
I'll suggest that being able to go into your house at 3AM and raid your refrigerator just because I learned you might have something edible in it is a freedom you would probably deny me.
I'll also suggest that after I'm done nomming on your food, that if were to sleep on your lanai, you probably would want to deny that freedom to me.
Freedom of assembly and all that. I feel like assembling in front of your driveway today. Sorry if you can't get out to do your grocery shopping but hey - public roads and all that, right?
Or -
is it possible that with freedoms come responsibilities?
Nahhhhhh that can't possibly be true. Can it?
