I believe some of the assertions and conclusions of this group to be completely wrong. I have thus far failed in my attempts to find intelligent debate on these, and so are asking for people to simply reply to me if they feel they can educate me on this understanding of liberty in a sane, intelligent, coherent and rati...onal manner.

Please post to let me know you exist, so I can throw a couple of questions at you.
Thanks :D

Well, the video is kind of rudimentary. It's not the end-all, be-all of the philosophy of liberty. Even if someone steals your car, you are still the rightful owner of the car. When the video says "you own your life", it really is saying that you are the rightful owner of your life. If someone "steals" your life, that still doesn't make them the "owner" of your life. Rather, it means they are violating YOUR ownership of it, just like the car thief violates your ownership of the car.

I completely agree with Brian, and James makes a good analogy. Kenny, your primary concern is that the slaves of the world might be insulted? You make it sound like slaves are a proud people who are perhaps where they want to be in life. I hardly think someone whose personal freedom was stolen from them in the form of slavery would be offended to hear that their "master" does not have a rightful claim on their life. Someone who voluntarily submits to slavery would be an exception.

Edward, many of us have read and subscribe to such philosophies. Unfortunately, we're not the ones in power.

The Philosophy of Liberty
The end of Law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge Freedom. -- John Locke, Two Treatises of Government (1689)
The Philosophy of Liberty
Taxation of earnings from labor is on a par with forced labor. Seizing the results of someone's labor is equivalent to seizing hours from him and directing him to carry on various activities. – Robert Nozick, Anarchy, State, and Utopia But Now You Know Why Workers Dislike Unions

Excuse me Kenny, nice numbers, but lets shoot some holes in 'em. Funny you don't even consider the number of BANKS in your brilliant expos... Read Moreé. Maybe there's twice as many in Nevada. Nor the number of guns, if there's half as many guns in Australia per capita wouldn't you need to consider that. You also don't bother to look up the number of bank robberies in both places where actual guns were used. Don't other social factors have an influence? such as gambling and illegal immigration. You were right about one thing though...the TINY bit of education part. The facts are that the first thing an authoritarian tyrant does is DISARM the general population, and its not intended to lower the rate of bank robberies.

My comment also goes out to Tim FACTS Miller who also does nothing to relate gun control with fewer bank robberies or this so-called "freedom from danger" Kenny dreamed up. Why should anyone have to "prove him wrong" on an admittedly unsubstantiated statement? The FACT is absolute gun control=absolute tyranny.

The Philosophy of Liberty
The political principle that underlies the market mechanism is unanimity. In an ideal free market resting on private property, no individual can coerce any other, all cooperation is voluntary, all parties to such cooperation benefit or they need not participate...
