This is what I really want.
A. I want to be able to say anything I want but I'd like to be able to say "shut up" to people every once in a while and them have to honor my request.
B. I want to own a gun but I don't want you to be able to own one.
C. I want to be free from search and seizure but I'd like to be able to enter your house whenever I wish and take whatever I want.
D. I think slavery is wrong but I have no problem if anyone wants to follow me around and do shit for free. Actually, I wouldn't mind if everyone in the world had to do exactly as I said. Sounds like it would kind of fun for a while.
E. I think the seatbelt laws are an affront to human dignity. If one doesn't have the freedom to not wear a seatbelt, what freedom does one really have?
Now, since I can't have those things I guess I'll have to compromise.
