The problem is, IMHO, we as a people have a misunderstanding of the legal basis of our "free" society.

We each have rights, but they are not unlimited. They are restricted and circumvented by the rights of others and the rights of the government.

The "free" society many imagine exists solely there--in their imagination. Yet comparatively speaking the rights we accord to the individual are pretty much unparalleled in the history of civilization.
