This may be getting off on a tangent, but...

You can get more freedom by restricting choice. In a free society no one
is free to choose to be enslaved. You cannot choose to give away your
civil and human rights. You can, of course, act like it if you want, but
if it went to court your "choice" to give up your rights would not hold up.
