What I'm suggesting is that people practice their liberty responsibly, with some awareness of the consequences of their actions. Liberty is constantly struggling against security and often loses in the face of insecurity (in fact, civilization itself is a sacrifice of the freedom of a hunter-gatherer existence for the security of farming, a wall, and an army provided by an overlord). If the Wal-Mart style of business creates sufficient insecurity, it won't be me that takes your liberty away from you.

What verbose nonsense.

Ignore history at your own peril. Liberty without responsibility rarely turns out well.
