Totally agree. The US has a history of protecting the rights of the individual over the rights of the group perhaps more so than other nations. There are benefits and risks to that and many other countries are experimenting with other ways of evaluating those conflicts. I think where the point gets contentious with libertarians is that forcing them to do something feels far scarier and authoritarian to them than forcing them not to do something. I agree that we're all connected though and the decisions we make impact those around us no matter how individual we think our actions might be.
