Yes, that's it, I don't think freedom is a good thing.

It's always frustrating discussing issues like this with people like you because there's no middle ground -- you're either "in favor of freedom" or "you're a jack-booted thug." Reality never enters the discussion.

I am in favor of freedom. However, there are a great deal of limits on that freedom. For one example of thousands I could posit, I am not free to build a house on your front lawn. And I am not free to fire your sister because I don't like chicks. That is not un-American, that is quintessentially American.

Not a good example because its apples and oranges.

And I am not free to fire your sister because I don't like chicks.

This is a good example and ... why not?
