How 'bout your ability to carry a weapon to protect yourself. Can you do that? Can you drive your car with an improved seat belt, or do you have to use the one the factory provided even if it isn't as good? Can you refuse to pay a tax for a service you don't get? Can you opt out of Social Security and choose to use the money for a retirement fund of your own choice? Can you refuse to take a Social Security number, choose to not participate? Can you do light work for cash and not report it as income? Can you drive a car without insurance, even if you've never had a wreck? Can you drive a motorcycle across the country without a helmut? Can you smoke a cigarrette in public, outdoors, anywhere you want? Can you tell the public school that you do not want them to instruct your children about homosexual sex? Can you tell them not to teach the theory of evolution if you're a Christian or a Moslem or whatever and you don't want it taught? Can you protect your child from being around a violent child in public schools that can't be punished because the teachers are prohibited from effective discipline? The answer to each of these questions, my dear friend, is no. Whether you want to or not is a different matter, and is really not the point. The fact is that you cannot choose to do these things without being a criminal.
