Freedom Matters
Just because something is legal does not mean it is not evil. Remember slavery was legal. Racial segregation was legal. Taxation without our consent is legal. Right now there are many laws on the books that violate our freedom. Wrong is wrong, even if it is legal.
DECLARATION OF FREEDOM:
- I own myself.
- I have individual rights.
- No one has the right to violate my freedom.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE MY FREEDOM:
- No one has the right to harm me.
- No one has the right to threaten me.
- No one has the right to steal from me.
- No one has the right to violate my individual rights.
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 free speech - I can communicate my opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship.
- The right to liberty - Liberty is freedom from permission. I can do what I want, as long as I do not violate the freedom of others.
SELF-OWNERSHIP:
Self-ownership is an important part of being human. You own yourself. You own your body. You own your labor. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE (NAP):
Initiating force or fraud against another is wrong and that the use of force is only justified when used in defense of aggression.
VOLUNTARYISM:
Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
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.
