I'm sure you think you have. You have also been evasive unwilling to consider the relevance of that "fact" in the context of political discussion.
You are a free, sovereign citizen of a self-governing nation operating under a government of strictly enumerated and limited power. No such nation can exist if it's citizens deny the foundations and inherent limitations of that government. Even a government of unlimited power cannot give you the society of perfect virtue and absence of vice that you want. You cannot have what you want, but you can lose what you have in pursuit of it.
But, you live among other humans and you effect them with your behavior and abuse of the freedom you have.
The people have come up with laws that best serve this generation, if you wish to live like a hermit and do whatever you want, buy an island and be your own king.
That aside, you are restricted to some extent and can't just do any darn thing you please because you step on other's freedoms.
We are in a populated society and many more things effect others around you then in the 1700s.
