What you call freedom is your freedom to hurt others through your ignorance: - freedom to be racist against people of color - freedom to do hitler salutes wherever you want - freedom to carry a gun to school or to mcdonalds - freedom to get lead poisoning from your municipal drinking water - freedom to coal roll your truck next to people - freedom to have car tires without any profile that can explode any time - freedom to get bankrupted by uninsured asshat's car crashing into you - freedom to work at age 80 as a walmart greeter
