Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self.

Once again pointing out the Libertarian fallacy. It does matter what you do in the privacy of your own home, even though the government must not have the right to snoop into it without evidence of crime.

Shalom.

Exactly, ArGee. I'm glad you highlighted that part. It was excellent. Did my heart good to hear him say that, and I do not think it was a meaningless addition. This speech had some big -- OLD -- concepts in it. I found it to be quite sound and very tied to other historical speeches and writings.

Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self.

I thought it was worth posting again. I love that line. It's a very important point.
