Believe it or not, in 1685, John Locke pointed out "a close parallel between state-established religion and a health care mandate."

I saw John Locke in the title and thought of Lost. Sheeesh!

Classical liberalism powered our escape from the tyranny of unelected kings and clergy, and modern so-called “liberalism” ushered in a new tyranny of elected busybodies.

Lost is a TV show that has a lot of allusions to philosophers, scientists and authors in its character names. One of the main characters is named John Locke.

"But the pravity of mankind being such that they had rather injuriously prey upon the fruits of other men's labours than take pains to provide for themselves, the necessity of preserving men in the possession of what honest industry has already acquired and also of preserving their liberty and strength
Never read John Locke. I like this guy.

John Locke. The letter being mainly quoted from in the article is here:

It's first and foremost a religious affirmation and commentary but it seems to be sprinkled with as much freedom and dissenting views as was allowed in 1689. Scrolling down around halfway he starts to sound like a libertarian.

I wouldn’t consider it a stretch to assume he may have influenced some of this Country’s founders.

You know, that show on tv, ABC I think. A bunch of people survive a plane crash on a island and all kinds of weird things happen. One of the characters is named John Locke.
