I agree that, at best, if you believe someone should have liberty you can give them the choice.

But what about those who believe that someone cannot surrender their liberty?
I wasn't responding to that, only the idea of not forcing anyone to have more liberty.

Think of someone trying to free an animal they healed and the animal doesn't want to go.
Then you have given the animal the liberty to choose. It will stay if it wants to.

This isn't necessarily about whether you can, technically, accomplish what I ask in the OP.
The answer to the question is yes, as you are taking away the liberty to choose between giving it up or not.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
