Society may decide for you that it will protect you from yourself.   And that can be fine and dandy, providing the society is sincere and you have given your consent.  Otherwise, what could you be?  A free citizen of earth in the company of .... whom?  Other free citizens?  Surely that can't be.  Isn't every being dying to be in some allegiance or another?  What if you don't want to?  Is there any other choice?  Is there such a thing as the free beings of earth?
