No one is 'free'. We all live in society and are all bound by the restrictions of our laws, culture and social expectations. Depending upon which system we live under we are given 'freedoms' to pursue our lives in the way we see fit - in limited areas. We call them our rights.

In pre-school children are taught that even though they have their rights, with them come responsibilites. Now even though we hope people will choose to meet their responsibilites if they fail to do so those responsibilities will be forced upon them by the full weight of the systrem (law culture and social expectaions).

Now my original comment was light hearted dig at the youth of today (you can tell by the ) who are all (without exception) G-D Tree Hugging Neo-Hippies and could all do with decent haircuts and a good couple of years in National service.

All your comments merely re-enforce my views.
