I argued previously that liberty means the freedom of each adult to do or not do whatever he or she chooses as long as he or she accords the same freedoms to others

Nope. For example, Just because you accord others the right to murder you does not grant you the right to commit murder. Liberty also requires the acceptance of the burdens required to maintain a free, civil society. This is where most Libertarians fail, they confuse Liberty with License.
