yes sir .. perfect security is the absence of liberty as it removes individual choice and responsibility. Perfect liberty to me is pursuing life as I see fit while not interfering with my fellow countryman’s right to pursue the same. Liberty implies choice and choice responsibility for the outcome of my choices. Whether accidentally or deliberately, if deprive another of life, liberty or property and I am truly at fault, I owe them some sort of compensation. If deliberate it is likely criminal and punitive. If accidental perhaps something less, as the lessons needing to be enforced are not the same. Sooo that gets into intent.. and WHY there are to many lawyers .. and not just simple apollogies and hand shakes to make it right.. IMO
