― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Reveries of the Solitary Walker “I have never thought, for my part, that man’s freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.”
Power always thinks… that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws. he must accord to others the same right as he enjoys himself. No one can compel me to be happy in accordance with his conception of the welfare of others, for each may seek his happiness in whatever way he sees fit, so long as he does not infringe upon the freedom of others to pursue a similar end which can be reconciled with the freedom of everyone else within a general workable law - i.e. If you’re not ready to die for it, put the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.
RUSH 2112 ALBUM MEANING FREE
If you are going to live a risk free life, you are going to die without having lived. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. There are things more important than your life and freedom is one of them. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. My career and life have been all downhill since, and I’m now a nihilist, praying for an asteroid to slam into the planet. Slavebelts have become a nemesis I’m not even allowed to carry a defense to. I’ve waited over 30 years for the country to wake up–but there’s always something “more important” than having “freedom” by its most basic definition–even for card-carrying Libertarians. Thought that was enough to make me a Democrat, but then Doyle signed that booster-seat bill (causing me to swear I’ll never have kids, even if I have to resort to a coathanger abortion to stop it). My story? I thought the world had ended when Tommy Thompson signed Wisconsin’s first sunset slave-belt law, then vetoed a measure that would have ended it early, and signed a bill to renew it, and signed a bill to make it a permanent law.
