It is my Right to engage in any activity as I see fit, in any manner of my own choice, so long as that activity does not infringe upon another Citizen's person, property, Liberty, or enjoyment thereof. I do not need permission from anyone to engage in any activity that does not infringe upon another Citizen's Rights.
Yes. It is that simple.

Of
liberty I would say
that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action
according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed
action
according to our will within
limits drawn around us by the equal rights
of others. - Thomas Jefferson |
| What is Liberty? Actually, what is the political struggle that we witness? It is the instinctive struggle of all people toward liberty. And what is this liberty, whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience, of education, of association, of the press, of travel, of labor, of trade? In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so? Is not liberty the destruction of all despotism - including, of course, legal despotism? Finally, is not liberty the restricting of the law only to its rational sphere of organizing the right of the individual to lawful self-defense; of punishing injustice? - Frederic Bastiat |

Is breathing your Birthright?
Would you WILLINGLY prostrate yourself in obeisance to another person to beg for permission to avail yourself of your Birthright?
 |
Execution of Birthright does not require permission. I will not supplicate on bent knee begging permission to engage that which I already own. I do not need permission to wield my Birthright. Liberty is MY birthright.
