Most interesting article, LB re Charles Murray. The Libs on Amazon surely don't like him, nor his books. Must be afraid that if everyone is empowered to help themselves, the liberal ricebowl will be yanked away from their own backyard. Charles Murray aei.org en.wikipedia.org self-gov.org Quotable: from What It Means To Be A Libertarian: A Personal Interpretation "Freedom is first of all our birthright... An adult making an honest living and minding his own business deserves to be left alone to live his life. He deserves to be free." "Applied to personal behavior, the libertarian ethic is simple but stark: Thou shalt not initiate the use of force. Thou shalt not deceive or defraud. Anyone who observes both these injunctions faithfully has gone a long way toward being an admirable human being as defined by any of the world's great ethical system." "Human freedom has always had to depend first on the individual's understanding that he is the custodian of his life, no matter who tries to say otherwise." from In Pursuit of Happiness and Good Government: "But I finally came to rest in the belief that Jeffersonian democracy is still the best way to run society... it may just be that on certain fundamental questions of government, Jefferson and his colleagues were right more universally than they knew. In particular, they understood that the vitality of communities and the freedoms of individuals are intertwined."
