The problem I have is that freedoms are finite and occasionally mutually exclusive. In an environment where air, food, water, and energy are all limited (and do not exist in renewable quantity enough to satisfy a third of the current population, much less the current population), people have to police their own behavior... and where they don't, it may have to be done for them to order to protect someone else's freedoms/life.
What happens if there is only one unit of food, and two people? Whose freedom to eat it is chosen, and based on what? What if the freedom of the CEO to make billions of dollars for him or herself comes at the cost of the income of tens or hundreds of thousands of laborers across the country? What happens if my freedom to sit alone on a rock and watch a sunset impinges on someone else's desire to do the same? Freedom comes with responsibility; and without exercising responsibility, there really is nothing of quality to be had from what freedoms you can find.
