These choices you are discussing up above are not ones arbitrarily established by gov't. Most if not all of them are simply the gov't implementing the will of the people. That still leaves you restricting freedom of choice, its just more popular restrictions. your extreme frustration with gov't telling you what you can and can not do does not sound like an issue about choice but rather it seems to have more to do with immaturity. After all, its kids who rebel when told what they can and can not do. That's rich. Anyone who strongly supports freedom is now a child, or at least immature. I don't think its reasonable to treat adults as children, with the government as their parent. A child doesn't have the mental capacity and experience in life to make wise decisions about certain areas of his or her life, so the decisions get made by wiser and more experienced parents. There isn't any reason to think government/political decisions will be wiser then personal decisions in the same way that parental decisions are likely to be better then the kids making all of their own decisions.
