O RLY? You can spew whatever hate speech you want and the PC police won’t charge you? Oh wait—they will! You can pay for a private doctor to perform a procedure covered by your government health insurance and it’s fine? Oh wait—it’s illegal! Your rights are infringed, just as mine are.

And here is a question then for you. Is it a Right to be able to walk down the streets with your children secure in the knowledge that people dressed up in pretty white robes won’t shout at you about how you should go back to your country before throwing stones at you and trying to get others to join in? If so then someone else’s right to verbally and physically bumault you has to be limited if not removed.

A better example would probably the the Right to own property which is a rather fundamental part of Capitalism. But one which can limit where I am able to be. I’m not at all allowed to walk into my neighbor’s house, make a sandwich and sit down to watch some television. My liberties are being taken away!!! Or is security excluded from possible liberties? To be placed under a general “free to defend yourself by whatever means necessary”? Laws are created and enforced through Government at some level so at what point can we say “Ok, if you drive a tank on the left side of the road, we’re going to stop you” without infringing on his freedom to do whatever he desires while also not being entirely arbitrary?
