It really sounds to me like you want anarchy. You want to be able to do whatever you damn well please, legal or otherwise, regardless of the consequences. Our government, while far from perfect, gives us more freedom and liberty than any other government on the face of the earth. Should we fight to keep government as small and unevasive as possible? Of course. Should we abandon all moral, ethical, and civil values that our founding fathers so eloquently laid out for us in order to achieve that end? Absolutely not.

"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our 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 to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819.

Should we abandon all moral, ethical, and civil values that our founding fathers so eloquently laid out for us in order to achieve that end?

Should we abandon them?

Certainly not.

Should we enlist government guns to enforce them?

No.

The only morally legitimate purpose of government, is defense of individual rights.

If an action violates rights, then by all means prevail upon state to restrain it.

Otherwise... not.
