Probably more accurate than the author realized. Freedom is predicated (defined, limited) by two criteria - first meeting your personal responsibilities and second not impeding on the rights of others. Having met both criteria, only then does one have freedom to act, say, move, live, etc as one wishes.

It is rather unfortunate that some are so actively taught their rights but never taught their responsibilities nor respect for the rights of others. Often those less educated earn the labels of 'criminal' or 'anti-social' because they don't understand the full limits or definition of freedom.

So far, every answer has remained without those boundaries.
