Taft Quote “When I say liberty…I mean liberty of the individual to think his own thoughts and live his own life as he desires to think and live; the liberty of the family to decide how they wish to live, what they wanted to eat for breakfast and for dinner, and how they wish to spend their time; liberty of a man to develop his ideas and get other people to teach those ideas, if he can convince them that they have some value to the world…” ~ Robert A. Taft (1889-1953) U. S. SenatorA Foreign Policy for Americans, 1951 Family Ratings and Comments Reply Mike, Norwalk 12/6/07 Taft's list is a good start. The individual's liberty is displayed when there exists: allodial freehold, statutes defining the God of Nature's laws, a government with no inherent rights - only passive (as derived from the individual sovereign); and when there is no: compelled compliance, license, theft of the noble laborer's fruit, victimless crimes, torture for any reason - especially for information gathering, forced charity/ID/insurance, socialist/fascist - liberal/conservative indoctrination, funny money, repression of religious expression in public, etc., etc., etc. Reply E Archer, NYC 12/6/07 Sweet.
