This (principle of self ownership) is what I was referring to in my earlier post (treasure).Yes, I REALLY DO treasure freedom and individual liberty above everything else.
Please watch the little video and let me know what you think. I’d appreciate hearing your objections (if any).
Also any thoughts on why you think we have (as a society) come SO far from this principle.
Thanks. 🙂
I think Alexi d’Tocqueville said it best: “America is great because she is good. When she is no longer good, she will cease to be great.”
I think you (and d’Tocqueville) are right. 🙂
I also think we are not good anymore and our country is falling apart, tho I really think it is more our government that is at fault more than the majority of the people.
I’d like to agree with you, but it is the majority of people who have put our current government in place. Too many of us have given up and don’t bother to vote. Too many people are won over by the promise of free phones and other subsidies. And there are too many low- information voters. We’re getting pretty much what we’ve asked for, I’m afraid. The midterm elections did give me some hope.
