[Elihu Burritt]

Freedom has it's roots in the self reliance of the hunter. From there it moves to the self-sufficient farmer, but once they go down to the city, self-sufficiency ceases to be a reality. From that point on, Freedom becomes a more hypothetical, yet even more valuable and precious notion that is harder to see and comprehend. The root of all evil is the notion that one man has a clearer vision above all others. This is a false assumption, since no one can tell the future. Whenever society as a whole does one thing, it becomes a mistake. Diversity is our strength, but we do need to be able to speak the same language.

[MosesKnows]

Whenever society as a whole does one thing, it becomes a mistake.

The referenced statement represents an interesting observation.

We became a nation of sheep by supporting agendas far less noble than our own good intentions and now we suffer the tyranny of those good intentions as a consequence of those agendas. Perhaps we actually do we sow the seeds of our own destruction.
