Words FROM MY FRIENDS



Friedrich August von Hayek states in ‘Freedom and Coercion’…..

“Political freedom is the absence of interference with the sovereignty of an individual by the use of coercion or aggression. The members of a free society would have full dominion over their public and private lives. The opposite of a free society would be a totalitarian state, which highly restricts political freedom in order to regulate almost every aspect of behavior. In this sense ‘freedom’ refers solely to the relation of men to other men, and the only infringement on it is coercion by men.”

Totalitarianism does sound like the global warming crowd doesn't it?
