Excellent post. Almost thought I was reading Ayn Rand for a moment. Your ideas of freedom are well founded. You don't have to be a Randian Objectivist to believe in freedom and sanctity of the individual.

Excellent post. 

Thanks.

Your ideas of freedom are well founded. You don't have to be a Randian Objectivist to believe in freedom and sanctity of the individual.

The thing about freedom is that it's limitless. For most people the only real boundary is an after thought: Don't initiate force against anyone. That many are sheeple is not of their own design. Yet it severely limits them. Sadly, Radian Objectivists erect unnecessary fences to in effect retain a cult-like membership -- a group-think mentality of their own design. Ayn Rand was distraught by it/them.

Summer of last year I finally got around to reading Atlas Shrugged after having it sit on my bookshelf for ten years. I'll probably read some of her other books. I've heard good things about The Fountainhead.
