If It Can't Be Abused, It's Not Freedom

I think it's a sound principle, but I'm not completely sure I'm right. What do you think?

From Flow, an idealist libertarian blog.

I don't believe in absolute separate free will--people affect each other, sometimes rather a lot. What's more, I even suspect this is frequently a good thing.

Maybe people would be more independent if they were more enlightened, but we aren't generally dealing with people who are like that.
