Yup, Liberty is the best policy. Liberty being only a few things being required and only that which is necessary to respect the rights of others and all other things which only effect you being your own choice. (As apposed to freedom which is total anarchy where absolutely nothing is mandatory even that which is necessary to respect the rights of others, liberty and freedom are two words which do not mean exactly the same thing.) Obviously there will always be debate on where exactly to draw the line with Liberty but the principle is never the less the superior one.
