"And when I say liberty I do not simply mean what is referred to as "free enterprise." I mean liberty of the individual to think his own thoughts and live his own life as he desires to think and to live; the liberty of the family to decide how they wish to live, what they want 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; liberty of every local community to decide how its children shall be educated, how its local services shall be run, and who its local leaders shall be; liberty of a man to choose his own occupation; and liberty of a man to run his own business as he thinks it ought to be run, as long as he does not interfere with the right of other people to do the same thing."

 

Do you agree with this definition of liberty? Do you really think our country today has this kind of liberty? Should it?

Keep in mind that if a country were to adhere to this definition, all drugs would be legal. For adults, there would be no restrictions on guns, alcohol, or cigarettes. Gays would be accepted under the law. Religions would be accepted too. There would be no compulsory education. And people would be free.

I think as America is right now it would outperform such a society as that in terms of power, wealth, progression etc.

It sounds great, but who knows how it would turn out. We could speculate, but for all we know a totally utterly free society could be an incredibly dangerous one.
