If this thread is in the wrong place feel free to move it.
It seems to me that there are variouse degrees of freedom for example if the government raises income taxs you have lost the right to spend your money
how you want to. In some cases reglion directly or indirectly inhibts people freedoms in a Similar way.
Lets take the logic one step further. In order to have "true freedom" we must live without reglion and government . Sure the world would be fine
without reglion but about what society without government?
Without government there is no structure in place that would allow people to get an education , obtain health care and live without fear.
All off sudden the elusive goal of freedom is once again out of reach without an education you no longer have a choice if you want to read that book
(Tom clancy or the bible take your pick. :roll
We know that the extreme right and left are the same. Some members of right would have the majority of the population illiterate, married at 12 and
women are property. Some members of the left are environmental naizs or would have us living in an unachievable Communist utopia.
How do we obtain the highest degree of freedom?
Elected a modrate , middle road right wing or Libertarian government.
In order to obtain greater drgrees of freedom people have to think for themselvs.
Will humans ever think for themselvs?
Thoughts?
