i think people have a confused idea of what "freedom" is and should be. one persons "freedom" to raise a gangbanger, armed with a MAC-10 who just loves killing people, also infringes on other peoples "freedom"

there always has to be boundaries and limits. thats why there are laws. i need a license to drive a car, i need a background check to buy a gun, i need a prescription for a drug... but if i want to have 10 kids and raise them to be assholes and everyone elses problem, thats totally ok... because society can bear the full cost of my actions and decisions. i might have "freedom" to do that... but i am also forcing the consequences of my behavior on others. thats not fair to others.
