I've finally caught up to you.
If there be any excess of individual liberty it would be only in that case where one man sees his own liberty superior to another and infringes upon it. This, though, has been contemplated and dealt with.
Case closed.
Great post, again.

Thanks. As I have finally moved into my house, and continued to improve its condition, I hope to find more time to write.
In the notion of competing liberties, it should be noted that no right exists which is at odds with another right. There is no right to health care because that care costs in effort. If it were a right, then it couldn't be sold. Thus, doctors would not be permitted to charge for their skills, nor engineers who create new imaging machines and surgical tools, nor biochemists who discover new drugs. Rights are not incongruous.
Individual freedom in a society is absolutely unbound, because individual freedom is a matter of concern over what to do with oneself. Imperfections exist, as we are imperfect beings, but primarily, a total control over what one does with himself is absolute liberty, which does not violate anyone else.
Those things which people do and try to label as their right or their freedom to do, are not rights or liberties at all, they are crimes.
I meant to post something on the fourth. Something which is pertinent to the times in which we live. Hopefully, I'll have it up tonight.
