"Freedom to steal..."

That's funny, I don't recall seeing in any of our foundation documents anything even remotely like "the pursuit of life, liberty, and the five-fingered discount."

That analogy is flawed on its very face because it's well proven that people who intend to break the law in some manner are not deterred by laws that make such behavior illegal.

If you're already going to steal, your freedom isn't abridged because you don't give a damn one way or the other.
