Price of freedom

Freedom doesn't exist in nature, force does, also domination, and oppression.Of course mileage differs from species to species. Hence freedom is very much a human construct. No problem with that. However freedom even though enlightened cannot exist in vacuum, it faces the harsh truth of nature. The truth of brute force.

It follows a society can remain free only as long as it can defend its freedom. This condition when society is free finds expression in concept of sovereignty . Therefore it follows if one wishes to remain free he should be willing to defend this sovereignty. This willingness goes beyond merely paying taxes and following laws. One must remain vigilant against any corrosion of the strength, this responsibility must be borne by one and all.

With freedom comes responsibility, and if this misquote grieves* the soul of venerable Uncle Ben, then this is price that must be paid.
