Folks like you, who exercise common sense, are becoming rare here on FR.
So many who claim to be for freedom, demand their freedom on the one hand, and are all too willing to approve of the taking of freedom, on the other hand.
Their problem is they are afraid of freedom...now someone will respond to this statement by saying something stupid like “So you approve of murder”...or something along those lines...they are so afraid of what they claim they want. So I’ll say something radical, that would provoke many here...I believe there is no such thing as...To Much Freedom...

I wish I could ascribe the double standards to something as excusable as fear. It seems likelier to me that they simply want freedom for themselves but not others ... hence their semantic distinction between "liberty" (good) - the freedom they want - and "license" (bad) - the freedom that others want.
