Thought For The Day: Free Society Resists Interference With Others

“A society is free when its members resist the tendency to interfere by force with the lives of others.  In this kind of society, justice is established as each person is given his clue and no man has a politically conferred advantage over any other.  The only desirable kind of equality exists, in that no man has the privilege of living at the expense of his neighbor.  Social order is present to the extent which freedom, justice and equality prevail – and they prevail to the extent that initiated violence is minimized in deference to a prevailing moral code.”  – Reverend Edmund A. Opitz, in The Libertarian Theology of Freedom, page 50
