Freedom
is the ability to do as you like without permission or restriction, so
long your actions cause no harm. Most people think they are free because
they are allowed to choose a master (voting), who in turn gets to
decide which of their victimless actions are allowed and which are to be
punished. Restricted permission from a third party is not freedom, it
is slavery with conditions. Free people do not need permission to engage
in acts that violate no other. We have now reached a point where
breaking the "law" has been converted from criminal harm to disobeying
ones master.
We
are trapped by the collective apathy of the majority who have abandoned
responsibility for their own actions. Those with the maturity to stand
by their convictions are encumbered by the arbitrary legislation
manifest by mass negligence. Thus, we are ruled by the values of the
lowest common denominator to the exclusion of the freedom that is our
natural state.
The state cannot grant a
license to commit a crime, such as a license to rape or steal. Therefore
any act that is licensed is already lawful without it. What a license
is, is permission from master to slave to engage in a perfectly lawful
act with added limitations set by the state.
