[quote=harvey]The founding fathers put a lot of careful consideration into the structure of their new model for government, they did study lots of history. [/quote]

There has been alot of study on this concept of freedom. Plenty to read there. It isn’t like I’m making it up myself.

My favorite piece is this one ” the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Not “happiness”, but “the pursuit of happiness”. Not “liberty to only buy stuff the government says I can buy” but “liberty”
