In this time of lockdowns and quarantines, how far are you willing to go to display your liberated spirit?

Let’s say you had to drive to Costco to hoard -- I mean, stock up on -- toilet paper. You’ll step outside your house wearing clothes, I presume. Sure, when you woke up this morning, it was still a free country but you’ll opt to obey laws about public decency.

Perhaps you notice that one of your cars needs an inspection or maybe a tail light is broken. Patriotism aside, you instead choose the car that’s in full compliance with the related laws. You get in, put on your seat belt (law obeyed), drive within the local speed limit (law obeyed), stay out of the carpool lane (law obeyed), and resist all those free-man urges to run red lights and/or drive on the sidewalk (laws obeyed).

In the Costco lot, the disability parking spots are available but you obey that law, too, and select a spot much further away from the entrance. To soothe yourself after all this restrictive conformity, you take a long drag from your vape pen -- but opt to not smoke inside the store (law obeyed).
