Take it another step, then...

What if you are trying to give liberty to someone who doesn't want liberty?
Then they CHOOSE not to accept liberty, but the fact that they have that choice means they DO have that freedom to make such a choice. I don't understand the confusion here.

If you believe liberty is the right to choose, what if you are taking away that person's "master", so to speak?
If you take it away without their consent it is not a matter of freedon, liberty or choice.


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