People such as this author take the real concept of "license" and stand it on its head. "License" is permission granted by some authority other than one's self to do something. True freedom does not entail receiving permission from another to engage in actions which do not violate the rights of others.

Good post. "...rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our own will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual." - Thomas Jefferson

One more time, because it needs to repeated as often as possible.
