Depends on who is making up the definition I suppose.

How can you say that it is in the states power to regulate what a person consumes? What they do in the privacy of their own homes? Where is that power granted? In mazes of laws and regulations? Who gave them that power to write these laws and impose these regulations?

Once you give away a piece of your freedom, you have given them the right to any freedom they wish to seize. We are seeing that play out today.

The slope leads to the state telling you what you can eat, where you can live, how big your dwelling can be, what you can do with the land you rent from the government.

“There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.
