“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”-Victor Frankl

Folks often claim to hunger for the truth.
But.

Seldom like the taste when it is served up.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.– Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Whoever desires liberty should understand … that every man who puts money into the hands of a "government" (so called), puts into its hands a sword which will be used against himself, to extort more money from him.– Lysander Spooner

Thanks, that is so true!!
_____________________

It is incorrect to think of liberty as synonymous with unrestrained action. Liberty does not and cannot include any action, regardless of sponsorship, which lessens the liberty of a single human being. To argue contrarily is to claim that liberty can be composed of liberty negations, patently absurd. Unrestraint carried to the point of impairing the liberty of others is the exercise of license, not liberty. To minimize the exercise of license is to maximize the area of liberty. Ideally, government would restrain license, not indulge in it; make it difficult, not easy; disgraceful, not popular. A government that does otherwise is licentious, not liberal.– Leonard E. Read

"Consciousness..?" would be nice but look around! "It's not the lie that bothers me, it's the insult to my intelligence that I find offensive."

Watching the unveiling of the next political era in the United States has been satisfying on many levels. It is especially nice to see large numbers of deplorables standing up for their bad selves, and watching the political class recoil and faint.-Karen Kwiatkowski

What do libertarians want from government? If they haven’t violated the personal or property rights of someone else, libertarians just want to be left alone.– Laurence M. Vance
