The real world condition of sustainable freedom: Freedom can only be achieved as it is exercised responsibly. This word is seemingly oxymoronic but is much like the concept of yin yan or the first two laws of thermodynamics.
We did what we wanted but never would bother or hurt anyone so our freesponsibility was cool and easy.
"The 'Latifundia', the holding of large estates, that marked evil of Roman and later times, are not made more moral by being practised by peoples instead of individuals."
- Ernst Frankenstein (1881-1959) - German/Jewish lawyer, philosopher and international jurist - father of Natural Ethics - as Frank E Warner in 'Future of Man' (London 1944).
"To speak here of property (in the soil) as one speaks of property in an article of use is to renounce thought." - ibid
Individual freedom is inseparable from social responsibility and needs to be redefined as 'Freesponsibility'
A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
