Freedom is about personal responsibility and self reliance, not "authority".

[Sam Cree]

The English concept of rule of law really says that everyone is equal before the law, not that freedom is about authority.

The French concept, however does think that freedom is about authority, specifically that freedom flows from government.

The American concept: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed."

[Old_Mil]

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.

-Rudy Giuliani

A politician who thinks like this is dangerous.
