Reader comments about this quote:
That sounds nice but I don't agree with this statement.The freedom of a convicted criminal guilty or not) in prison can not be equal,in any way,to the freedom of a self sufficient/retired millionaire,the captain of his life's yact,cruising the waters of life.

Too unclear. Certainly should depend upon how freedom is defined. Freedom to do what? No one should be free to do whatever he pleases. Certain acts should never be permitted.
 -- David L Rosenthal		 
This is one of those astute in the obvious. Freedom here is the base intangible that each and every, any and all derive their inalienable rights from. If compelled compliance, victimless crimes, license, etc. are tolerated by society as a whole, each and every individual therein is then a victim or slave of the omnipotent oligarchical god. Of course the collectivist, materialist, etc. will all disagree with this quote as it is incomprehensible to them and inalienable rights would NOT be considered a faculty of birth.

Give me a break - take it for what it really means. Its the essence not the words. Well said Mike.
 -- Robert, Sarasota		 
That's the point Rosenthal, true freedom is the ability to do whatever you please. I pray you will never decide which acts should never be permitted. Your Nazi thinking would surely make you the traitor who betrays your family, friends or neighbors for the slightest infraction of the most obscure rules.

It is the basis of Equality and classical liberalism.

So, Joe, would you also say that adult men should be free to have relations with little boys and girls? That is what it sounds like from what you wrote: "true freedom is the ability to do whatever you please." The authority to to anything at all? That belongs to no one.
