you are the direct subject yourself.

Yes, I meant "freedom for me" - I thought that was implied.

If I simply told you (and you have easy means of confirming that I'm telling the truth) that I'm restricting the movements of a dozen people you've never heard of, and the restriction of freedom is done in such a way that the "victims" will never even be aware that their freedoms are being restricted (e.g. giving a mental imperative to vote republican with a denial-of-denial clause for it), would you still have the same intense this-is-wrong terminal value for no other reason than that their freedom is taken from them in some manner?

I would not want to be one of those people. If you convincingly told me that I was one of those people, I'd try to get out of it. If I was concerned about those people and thought they also valued freedom, I'd try to help them.

employment contracts

My employment can be terminated at will by either party. There are some oppressive labor laws that make this less the case, but they mostly favor me and neither myself nor my employer is going to call on them. What's an "employment contract" and why would I want one?

compulsive education

Compulsory education is horrible. It's profoundly illiberal and I believe it's a violation of the constitutional amendment against slavery. I will not send my children to school and "over my dead body" is my response to anyone who intends to take them. I try to convince my friends not to send their children to school either.

prison

I don't intend to go to prison and would fight to avoid it. If my friends were in prison, I'd do what I could to get them out.
