Liberty
Just what is it?
We’ve all heard ‘Give me liberty or give me death’. So is liberty the opposite of death?
Let’s see what the dictionary has to say…..Liberty – freedom from slavery, captivity, or any other form of arbitrary control...the sum of rights possessed in common by the people of a community, state, etc.
Hmm...Are we free in the United States? Do we have liberty to live our own lives?
I have my doubts. I can’t think of one thing in my life that is not regulated, taxed or otherwise influenced by the federal government. Can you? I’m free to walk in the woods but that’s about all the government hasn’t influenced. The woods are still relatively free from government interference. (Don’t tell them that)
Other than a walk in the non-taxed woods what liberties do we enjoy?
