Steve Farrell Freedom Is Not License Freedom and License, are not synonyms.
Parents know better.
These parents stand as witnesses that the widely accepted notion that freedom and moral responsibility are somehow disconnected is at best a delusion instilled by miseducation not experience, and at worse a diabolical lie. The pain they feel, the shipwrecked lives they labor to pick up and reassemble, the incessant pleadings to stubborn short sighted children, and the endless nights spent sobbing upon their knees, all testify to them, that unrestrained freedom is not freedom at all, but quite often a terrible, miserable slavery. Every act has a natural consequence. Experience, that cruel schoolmaster teaches us that. But it's not as if the idea is lacking in proponents.
