Freedom Matters
No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent.
- Rush - Tom Sawyer

I HAVE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS:
- The right to self-ownership - I own myself.
- The right to privacy - No one has the right to violate my privacy.
- The right to self-defense - I can defend myself, my property, and my freedom.
- The right to liberty - I can do what I want, as long as I do not violate the freedom of others.
NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE (NAP):
Because I own myself, it is wrong for someone to initiate force against me or my property.
VOLUNTARYISM:
Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
FREEDOM:
Freedom is the ability to exercise your will within your individual rights without the threat of force from anyone else.
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM:
There will always be people who try to violate our freedom. To remain free we have to be willing and able to defend our freedom. That is the price of freedom.
