FREEDOM from FREEDOM

[RAnderson]

Freedom can only be to, it cannot be from. Freedom from always ends in no Freedom at all.

That is an awesome explaination of freedom. Good thread. More people should read it.

It's another way of understanding what is a natural right. A natural right can be exercised without anyone else being required to do anything. You can't have a right that requires someone else to take an action.

Also, any action that does not directly affect someone else comes under the heading of a natural right.

This is the only freedom you need to remember in the new Obamamerica: Arbeit macht frei So move along nothing to see here.

 

[rambone]

Bump, so more people can enjoy this great article.

It's too bad most get it backwards.

Great read! Thanks op for the find and thanks Rambone for the bump since I missed this the first time around.

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

Ditto - me too. Thanks Rambone! and props to the OP for this.

That can't be right, the organizer in cheif says our Constitution is “a charter of negative liberties”

That doesn't sound good. We should probably change it to be more positive.

Yeah, but just try arguing that with a lefty. It doesn't work.
