The most important freedom

We always hear about freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right to vote, the right to privacy, and how important they are. While they are important, I'd argue that there is one freedom that is more important than all of the others. It is important because it encompasses all of them. Yet you won't find it written in the Constitution, any law, or any philosophical work. No, despite being so vital to freedom, this important right is by far the most under appreciated right.
I am speaking of course, of the right to be stupid. You see, every American has the freedom of self-determination, the right to control their own destiny, and with that right, comes the ability to ruin your life if you so desire. I believe that the government should never ever interfere with this fundamental right in any way.
The most common infringement on this right is socialism. For example, the government already mandates that drivers buy car insurance and, depending on who gets elected next year, they may do the same for health insurance. This is infringing on the freedom of stupidity, because the government would be forcing me to do something smart that I would rather not do. And when you think about it, it's my health and my car we're talking about, not the government's. It's not the government's job to ensure that I make the right decision.
When the government stops us from being stupid, it is the beginning of tyranny. After all, if the government can stop me from taking an action that it believes is dumb, what happens when my definitions of smart and stupid are different than the government's. Could the atheistic government stop me from going to church? After all, many atheists think that that action is stupid. Could a Democrat-controlled government stop me from voting for a Republican? Many Democrats would think that that would be stupid. So you see, when you infringe on he right to be stupid, you infringe on every right that Americans hold dear. It may seem like a joke, but the most important right that we as Americans have is the right to be stupid.
