Just a quote I'd like to share with you all |
|
This is from Thomas Jefferson. I was going to try to write something around it on how it defined what it meant to be a liberal, but it doesn't need my interpretation. So here, enjoy it for yourself:
"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual." --Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819.
Hail to the Chief
