"Giving up a little liberty is something we agree to" in a nation of laws?

[Notafraidtoo]

2. Personal liberty ends when it harms the personal liberty of another.

I believe Liberty is limited when others liberty's are harmed, hence the purpose of laws relating to personal liberty, like a polluter for instance he/she has the liberty to form a enterprise but his/her liberty ends when the rest of us have to pay to clean his/hers mess or worse yet are harmed physically by his/hers actions.

I am torn on soda laws,on one hand id like to think i have a right to harm myself if i know i am harming myself,but the conflict arises in me when company's hire spoke persons like coke for instance who hired a scientist to go on news stations even npr to say soda was good for children cause it hydrates them. this is a harmful destructive lie that soda is good for you that some will believe,Tobacco company's were no different 50 years ago.

When they lie and say to the public that harmful items are good for you i think regulation may be in order.
