You have to eat, as a biological fact. If you aren't responsible for obtaining your own food (by working to make it grow or trading a value for it, such as money) then how will you survive? Who will be responsible for feeding you? I'd go further and say that LIFE period requires responsibility. It just depends on WHO is reponsible.. Freedom means that each is responsible only for himself

I believe it does. In order to be totally free, that means you must also be free to respond, and that is precisely what responsibility is: the ability to respond, rather than simply act out a role that has been made for you.



As long as you are freely making choices, you are also freely accepting the direct consequences of those choices.

No, but irresponsible freedom is consequential.
