@BethanyBlack Well spotted, though I don't think it has to be an opposition. We might be able to build bridges in the realization that striving for "freedom to" doesn't _have_ to impede another's "freedom from". A libertarian may very well intend to exercise their freedoms to do anything with a sense of civic duty and social awareness. Those who call for social security may very well support the freedom for anyone to do anything as long as they feel acknowledged in their own safety concerns.
