JSim:
As far as I'm concerned, none of that is a loss of "freedom".
When you tell me I can't drive a car - then...
When you tell me I can't drive a motorcycle - then...
When you tell me I can't smoke - then...
When you tell me I can't get on a plane - then...
When you tell me I can't build anywhere - then...
When you tell me I can't own a private company - then...
Until "then", these kinds of things are no different than the first red stop light or the first key card to an office building or the first closing time posted at a beach. It's simple societal rules that keep us functioning as opposed to anarchy. If you argue that "rules" deny "freedom", then nobody in the history of the world has ever been free and nobody ever will.
