aa - the problem with your viewpoint is that it only works if you are 20 acres away from your next neighbour - very few people have that luxury nowadays in most parts of the world.
Try applying your 'freedoms' (perhaps read selfish behaviour) in a place with higher population density and problems will occur.
The flip side of this is respect for other people's freedom. Something that has been eroding for decades in US society, and which is accelerating here at a frightening rate.
just because someone expects you to pay taxes and play by some pretty fair rules? You really don't know just how good you have got it.
