You're NOT always free to do that. Robert Bork pointed out the issue of "externality" - an illicit act is not necessarily private and its public effects may be detrimental to the welfare of our community, such as our children. Liberals and libertarians ignore the issue altogether. Still, it exists.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
