Hmm. The older I get the more I realise that the libertarian ideal shown in this meme may not work long term. The facts of life are conservative, gay marriage has become a slippery slope, and the greasy burgers are killing us. Strong values around morals and health are better in the long term for everyone. But thanks for starting a discussion :)
There is a balance. I'm older and more conservative now but my older self couldn't go back and talk sense to my teenage self. My teenage self had to learn on his own and choose a calmer, more virtuous path over time.
Socially, maybe we just try to mitigate the damage and limit the danger of poor choices and work for free speech and open dialog and honest presentation of the facts as the means to address the potential downside "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

Hmm. Try the greasy burger (grass fed beef) without the corn syrup Coke and soy oil fried french fries and guess what? No heart disease.
It's the corn syrup (or sugar, not as bad but still bad) and the soybean oil that is killing is. But thanks for the uninformed condecension . . . ;)

I get the drift, but sometimes unfettered doing what we want might be problematic. Non-greasy burger and bowl, that's a good combo.
