    If it were possible to live somewhere without government interference, I would do it in a heartbeat.

      Yeah, well, you’re slowly getting to my point: if you want to live amongst other people you have to abide by common rules since your Freedom ends were other people’s Freedom starts.

      (Which is how we ended up with the complex beast which is the Nation State, with all its imperfections)

      Absolutelly, some people would love to trully be free in the genuine sense of the word and there really aren’t that many places on Earth were that is possible (they were born in the wrong Age, IMHO), but most people seem to want Freedom AND all the upsides of Human Civilization both at the same time, in other words, Rights without Duties.
