How is that a choice?  Were you around when your state was created and
did you agree to the rules?  The rest of us were born into our situation
and there is no free choices available to us so we have to follow the
rules enforced by others with guns.  You might even argue that is makes
for a good system but don't pretend that it is voluntary.

Every other mode of transportation is regulated, even walking, so no
choices.

Forcing people to get permission from the state before doing what they
love is not the definition of choice.

That's like saying that I freely gave my money to the mugger who
threatened to kill me if I didn't.

Then you never met me or most of my friends in the open source
community.  It sounds like you are describing Windows users.  I have met
many Windows users who either run stolen software or are happy to share
their non-free software with others.  I don't even have to ask.  I am
always being offered a free copy of Windows or Office.
