The irony of having free will or self determination is you need to be careful
how you practice it and the consequences of free will.  Just because you can
do something doesn't mean you should.  If you want to function within a
society you need to follow the rules.  It doesn't matter whether you embrace 
the spirit of the law or just follow the rules out of fear of breaking the
law.  Unless you live in a locked down dictatorship, you have a right to leave
or a right to petitition to change the law or you could withdraw from
society.  That was the draw behind moving to places such as the US or Australia.
If you didn't fit in, you could either tolerate your condition or pack up and
create your own private space.
