I never meant for anyone to think I felt otherwise. However, from where (anyone believes) freedoms <em>ultimately</em> arise is not the issue at hand.

They arise from natural law/god/<a href="http://www.venganza.org/">noodly appendages</a> (strike as applicable). If they don't, then the government can remove them as it sees fit, and sovereignty does not rest with the people. A number of random points:
