But a world with complete (personal) freedom can't exist because the more
freedom you get the nearer anarchy you get and then you lose the freedom because
another persons 'freedom' impinges on yours.
To my mind a county like Denmark (which has a pretty socialist attitude) gets as
near to a good balance as anywhere. I'm not saying that it is perfect by
anymeans but to my mind infinately preferable to the US. (plus its the home of
Lego!)
I know that this doesn't really answer your question but my point is that the
two arent mutually exclusive
