It's what happens when you grow up in a country where you're told that FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY and all that is paramount, but then you start to realize that, even in a society full of FREEDOM there's rules to be followed, and those rules suck: you gotta pay fees to get a licence, and then you can't do some stuff, and maybe you get a fine for some neighbourhood bylaw and now have to go to court. It's the freedom fetish of American civic religion coming up against the reality of living in a modern society.
