Interesting difference of how we both interpret freedom. I think freedom is more important than anything, the only sure thing that is "bad" is tyrannical nanny state making rules for everything. If something is just a little bit more risky, but is a pretty safe freedom to allow the populace, then allow it! I am always going to sway towards less rules even if it means that some bad things happen sometimes. "The man" choking the average person by removing simple freedoms like being allowed to do 30mph through town when the roads are clear, is too much of a step towards nanny state hell (if we are not there already).
I would draw a parallel between 20mph limit to mandatory helmet laws.
