What rights do you consider to be individual rights?

What issues of daily life do you feel should not be subject to any intervention from a governing body and why?

Update:

I left the question vague so as not to influence anybody into answering just to rebut my views.

Issues of daily life are what things should you be able to get out of bed and do everyday without your system of government telling you how to do them. Eat, sleep, have sex, work, discipline and instruct your children? That type of thing. Anything you do by choice or out of necessity is an issue of daily life.

    Everything and anything you were born able to do, except harming or stealing from another human.

    The people derive their rights from their humanity, not from the permission of a government.

    Everything that isn't a crime. I need the government to keep the roads up, protect the homeland, insure government parks are up to speed, shut down the borders,......then leave me the hell alone to make my own decisions, take my own risks to succeed, stay out of my way so my family can do what it is to make my next generation better than me.

    If not....we have reverse Darwinism creating nothing more than a 3rd world nation status of the socially addicted and the hand out freebee crowd. We're almost there now and China is funding it.

    My right to live freely as a free man.

    What do you mean "issues" of daily life? The government have the power to intervene into anything we do, with probable cause.

    The right to be left alone by the federal government. The right to be free. The right to make my own decisions. The right to do anything that is not illegal. The right not to buy health care insurance if I don't want to.
