| Jianshuo, Freedom is a nice thing as long as it doesn't hurt other people. The US may have more restrictions on freedom than China, but we natives take that for granted. We don't have the freedom (that is, the Right) to hurt other people or take their things, and there are a lot of freedoms we don't have because of imagined worries that it will interefere with someone else's freedom. So you can't smoke wherever you want, you can't drive wildly on the road, you can't make a lot of noise in a theater, you can't block a doorway, sit in the middle of the street, take off your clothes in public, and in many states you can't marry whomever you want, because people have been convinced that it will hurt their own marriage if your choice is the same sex as you are. Carroll explained the sign well. |
