Rights are Individual
Anyone saying “corporations have a right to…” or “government has the right to…” doesn’t understand what a right is.
Rebel, but Make It Responsible
Did the past year signal the end of liberty, or just put a few more nails in its coffin? Is liberty under a greater threat these days or is it only a matter of perception? I hope it’s the latter, even though I suspect it’s the former. I plan to pry some of those coffin nails out before it’s too late to salvage what we’re losing. I hope you’ll help.
