If I have something of singularly great value... if I own it... then I am free to use of abuse it as I choose... but I would be a fool to not respect it.
Suppose this object was for example, the world's largest diamond. And further suppose that I decided to take it with me to McDonalds one day.
While there I suddenly grew very hungry; the smell of freshly fried thin potato strips overpowering my willpower... but low in behold, I have brought only my billion dollar diamond and have no cash....
bummer, they don't have change for 5 billion...
hmmm...
Well, I am free aren't I... I will just let them keep the change...
So in a ludicrous moment of unyielding gluttonous hunger, I do it...
I give them the world's largest diamond in exchange for a super size order of fries and a few packets of ketchup...
Now I am really showing how free I am right?
No... I am the world's largest idiot...
I have traded that which had no earthly equal for a fast food experience which could be replicated by anyone possessing $1.69

What your saying is so true. eing free is not all its cracked up to be. There should be limits and thats what keeps us from buying french fries for 5 billion dollars,
