We do not have to sacrifice any part of our Liberty and we do not need government to "regulate" as much as they do. As a matter of fact, government was not instituted to "regulate" anything more than commerce.

And, I re-state this:

Among rights, liberty is ranked as fundamental. Freedom from physical restraint is at the core of our understanding of liberty. It is not society, nor any social right that allows or forbids the actions of men - it is the unalienable individual right of others, a line of division that preserves both rights untouched. The division is not derived from an edict of society – but from inalienable individual right. The definition of this limit is not set arbitrarily by society – but is implicit in the definition of the individual right. The right to the pursuit of happiness means a man’s right to live for himself, to choose what constitutes his own private, personal individual happiness and to work for its achievement, so long as he respects the same right in others. It means that Man cannot be forced to devote his life to the happiness of another nor of any number of other men. It means that the society cannot decide what is to be the purpose of a man’s existence or prescribe his choice of happiness. Whenever a man is made to act without his own free, personal, individual, voluntary consent – his right has been violated. A right cannot be violated except by physical force. One man cannot deprive another of his liberty, nor enslave him, nor forbid him to pursue his happiness, except by using force against him.

At present, the only thing that I see "society" providing is a fast track to the loss of ALL Liberty because they are too lazy, ignorant and/or too filled with fear to protect the Liberty of ALL Men.

With that in mind, ask yourself: how could anyone "owe" "society" anything?
