I think that as far as the "absolute freedom" bit goes, the spirit of this question means that each of us is absolutely free from a greater governing body. I think to get caught up in the technicality that if another civilian tries to harm you, steal from you or otherwise infringe upon your freedom then you are not truly free causes you to miss the point about that part of the question.

I take this to mean that we are suddenly, at least temporarily, without the Social Contract.

Correct me if I am wrong, vince.
