This article is a bit muddled in several issues. Important and not mentioned, though by no means authoritative, is the enduring "negative liberty" principle and its enormous impact on the American ethos from its founding. An big reason a lot of this "concept creep" makes us uncomfortable is that the "right to be free from harm or negligence causing harm" is coming into diametric opposition with other people's right of expression, movement, and property. For an article that goes so far as to evoke Aristotle, I'm surprised no mention of Locke or JS Mill was made.
