Just to put in my 2 cents.  The word "freedom" is overused frequently to
mean, "I can have or do anything I want."  Freedom was never meant to give
shelter to selfishness and anti-social behavior.  It was never meant to
engender an "Every man for himself" life-style.  This way of thinking is
very immature.  As proof, I offer my experience as a Campus supervisor in my
school district.  One of the most often-used excuses for bullying or other
irresponsible behavior by children is, "It's a free Country!"
