I've long said that I support the most freedom possible as long as what one is doing is not consciously harming others. If you think about it - you'll see that it is wise advice. You are free to do as you will - as long as you do not harm others...or as Jefferson put it - as long your exercise of freedom does not interfere with someone else's exercise of their freedom.

It's not rocket science.

Well, your definition has a nice modern ring to it, even if it bears little resemblance to the definition of liberty used by the founders of this country.
