You don't really want to go that route Watchman. I assure you, everything you hold dear in your life, from raising your own children, to drinking beer, to how you spend your free time can be justified by using collectivist logic similar to what you put forward above. At the end of the day, you could claim that you have the right to force everyone to travel by foot, for no other reason than your claim to your 'breathing air'. You could also force everyone to live in unheated domiciles with no electricity. Heck, you could outlaw running water using that kind of logic.
