Slow down a bit! You need to put your drink inside a bag, else is the fridge bar at the hotel room. An able bodied man can't swim in a hotel pool if a life guard is not there.

The nation-state such as the US and European democracies, took all freedoms from its citizens and doled out rights for this and rights for that.

I lived and worked in many countries where there is indidividual freedoms (you can do whatever you bloody want) with people who came from countries where there are only rights but no freedoms.

They screwed up and got in trouble often. The first trouble they got was to crash their cars: They can't function in countries where you can gorge alcohol and drive and you are the only one responsible for the consequences.

I because I was born in a country where everything is allowed in a personal level but miss the freedoms that HK have) can handle any situation in those countries where individual freedom is allowed.

Poorer countries usually have more individual freedom because the state can't afford the civil servants Big Brother apparatus watching you.

How much costs all those state troopers, cars, radios, fuel, dispatch people, legal apparatus...: A lot!

How much does it cost those radars, helicopters and cops watching over speeding in highways?

Less money for the state to watch us means more freedom, hence, poorer countries have more individual freedoms.

Now with the regulations after 9/11 you have the right to travlre by air...

The difference between us who have freedom, is the difference between the animals who roam free on a farm in the ones confined and castrated.
