For over 15 years I walked 3 to 5 miles a day through our neighborhood and surroundings ones. It was good for me in many ways. It helped me to stay fit and helped me to control my diabetes. It also enabled me to see what was doing on in the area and get to know people in the area. I was known in the area as "the walker" and the "veggie man" ( I grow vegetables the whole year and share them with friends and neighbors). It was also time for thinking and reflection -- and provided the material for much of the things that I write.

You come close to playing a dangerous semantic game. There is no such thing as absolute freedom. To buy the idea of absolute freedom means allowing people to take advantage of others, to treat them with a lack of dignity and respect. To do so denies the basic tenets of democracy. Yes, we need to act and make choices within the bounds of morality and rationality, but we should never create a governmental situation which allows and encourages the debasing and exploitation of others. Your posts lean toward self-serving libertarianism.
