Please take the time to learn the differences between negative and positive liberty. Understanding these concepts will help us fight for freedom in our age by striking at the root of the problem of tyranny - rather than ever flailing at its leaves.

Yes, the BBC video is groovy, but it explains the concepts well.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." - Anatole France, 1894.

Good video on Berlin. Now, rather than the Soviet threat, we have the global corporatists wanting to be Big Daddy.

They are in many ways become one in the same. By ignoring one threat - you allow the other to grow in scope in power.
