There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

I do think there’s a good point in there. You can do anything you want, as long as you are willing to suffer the consequences:

You want to totally leave society, then don’t come running if you’re starving.

You want to take something from someone else without paying, then it’s your problem if you get arrested or shot.

You don’t want to pay your taxes, then don’t complain when fire fighters don’t show up while your house burns down, don’t complain about the lack of doctors that can treat your condition, and don’t complain when the well you’re drinking from becomes polluted.

Most people like to say they want freedom, but will run to society at the first inconvenience.
