You have a different view of freedom. I view freedom as the liberty to, not the liberty from.

Sometimes they overlap, but this is an irrelevant point.

Oh really? Well aren't you just a fountain of philosophical originality? Let's hear it then.

Libertarianism is simply the most practical of political theories.
