There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gardual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation.
James Madison (1751-1836)
Government has no right to control individual liberty, beyond what is necessary to safety and well-being of society.
South Carolina statesman, John C. Calhoun (1782-1850)
Isn't this true today? Our governement is slowly (or maybe quickly) taking away our freedoms. They dictate the way we live, how fast we drive, how we raise our children. The list goes on.
In this day and age it is so important that we teach our children what freedom is. And, if you don't understand (or believe) that we are losing our freedoms daily, then study what true freedom is. Study the 17th century and the founding of America. Read The Story of Liberty, by Charles Coffin.
