It is by liberty that man has a country; it is by liberty he has rights.” ~ Henry Giles (1809-1882)The Worth of Liberty, 1847 Liberty , Rights Ratings and Comments Reply Mike,, Norwalk 12/16/24 Liberty is a measurement at / in nature's law. Law is a tangible’s applied static measurement within a domain of absolutes (biology, chemistry, physics / science, fiscal / economics, gravity, math, magnetics, life, liberty, rights, etc. Who or what is that standard maker that places an abstract worth value to law (and/or "liberty" a subcomponent thereof)? What nexus compares worth or ties liberty to a country? The only real accurate clause in this quote is that where liberty is, there IS/are also acknowledged rights (that exist inalienably). 1 Reply E Archer, NYC 12/17/24 In other words, without Liberty, what's the point? We should not be beholden to any government that does not protect the liberty of its people as PARAMOUNT. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 12/20/24 Kinda nonsense quote for considering the growing nature of liberty and what we are permitted to perform, neither liberty or rights cannot be recognized in their entirety but by the appropriate occasion for being free to make our advancement. If it's life or supports life, it grows. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
