Those who have ever valued liberty for its own sake
believed that to be free to choose,
and not to be chosen for,
is an unalienable ingredient in
what makes human beings human.

Quote of the day....................
The principle that the end justifies
the means is in individualist ethics
regarded as the denial of all morals.
In collectivist ethics..........
it becomes necessarily the supreme rule.

Quote of the day......
Human nature itself is evermore
an advocate for liberty.
There is also in human nature
a resentment of injury, and
indignation against wrong.
A love of truth and a veneration of virtue.
These amiable passions, are the "latent spark"…
If the people are capable of understanding,
seeing and feeling the differences
between true and false,
right and wrong,
virtue and vice,
to what better principle can
the friends of mankind apply
than to the sense of this difference?
-- John Adams
(1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President

the press to serve the proper functions of
communication in a free society.
