No. But that doesn't mean that we are truly free. Think of every tax, every license, every tidbit of legislation -- we are not free. We are given the perception of freedom while actually being bound.
No. That's like evil goodness or stupid intelligence. Freedom is freedom. If there is any degree of surrender it is my choice to do so.
Maybe -- it makes a lot of sense. Especially the intellectual stance of it - opposed to the chaotic, teen-age angst version that everyone seems to embrace.

What is "true freedom?"

If you want to be an anarchist about it, say so, just don't call it "stealing."

You're buying into the social contract idea... I don't.
I'll call it what it is.

I think millions of Americans would disagree with you who vote every year.

I guess your perception is your reality.
It's quite ignorant though. Are you a believer? Take heed to Romans 13. Be unhappy, feel like you live in tyranny, and have a good life.

Ahh... there's what I've been waiting for. The labels and name calling used when dismissing the alternative idea. I don't do that so as to actually engage with people.
