Julie Borokowski, someone worth emulating.

I just read "Whatever Happened to Justice?" by Richard J Maybury. On page 76, he has the following definition of Liberty that I really like, attributed to Thomas Jefferson:

"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 limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson.

This book and some others by the author should be required reading in high schools.

It is true that associations will always form and some lust in desire for power to control others and devise ways to encroach, even stealthily, on the natural rights of others. However, all, especially the liberty-minded, have to be vigilant. The lack of vigilance, the dependence on governments, along with the evil stratagems of the previously mentioned associations got us where we are.
