when man's freedom equals zero, he commits no crimes.
That is a false assumption . The same then would have to be said that there is less crime in countries with less freedoms.
Freedom and safety are not related and one does not take away or add to the other.
Getting killed is the largest price that is paid for freedom. Freedom is not cheep.

I see what you are saying but I think you are a little biased. There are certain freedoms and safety precautions that you value more than others, which is why you believe that freedom and safety isn't related.
For example, a country can take away our right to bear arms. That is a restriction on on our freedom. However, most people consider that a win their books because they had no desire to bear arms to begin with plus they will be able to visit places safely. They do not value that freedom so all they see is the safety benefit.
What safety precaution do I value more then others that make me bias ??????????
So the relationship between freedom and safety are based on feelings or values
I didn't mean to single you out like that. Bias in this case is to be expected (So am I). I do not know you personally so I am only offering examples.
So an example of a safety precaution that you may not care about is the banning of kids food

So the relationship between freedom and safety are based on feelings or values
I 100% agree with you. But the original quote in question used the number zero, meaning nothing. When we change it to a small number or like you said less freedom/less crime then it is subjected to feelings and values.
Thanks for your comments. Made me think about the topic from a different perspective.
don't feel like the lone ranger. I to had to give this some thought.
California what can you say. 😉
