The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Attempting to Choose Freedom is What Finally Exposes the Chains“…

Rayn: “Choice”

Jonas A.: So much for choice indeed!!!

My Commentary: “Choice”

 

“Land of the Free,” You Say?

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “End the War on Drugs,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"This year's winner in prison population (prisoners in millions): USA - 2.0, China - 1.5, Russia - 0.8. The United States has less than 5% of the world's population, but nearly 25% of the world's prisoners. Let's meet the champions: (Three Strikes, and other mandatory sentencing laws, not higher crime rates, are responsible for the 800% increase in federal prison populations since 1970.) (Louisiana, has the highest incarceration rate with 1619 per 100k residents, more than 2x the national average. Nearly 2/3 of their prisoners are non-violent offenders. This is largely due to the laws voted into effect by voters.) (Private prisons, are the for-profit prisons that hold over 10% of all federal prisoners. The problem: they spend millions each year lobbying for stricter sentencing laws to increase their profits.) Share better. Share this. Upworthy."

My Commentary: “Land of the Free”?

In America, You Are Only Really “Free” to Obey!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Voluntaryism,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"A message from your government: You are free... as long as we control your resources, as long as we control your education, as long as we control your currency, as long as we control your internet, as long as we control your military, as long was we control your justice, as long as we control your land - for your own safety.

My Commentary: YOU ARE FREE… TO OBEY!

Embrace the Natural Rights, Equality and Presumed Innocence of Individual Sovereignty

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Spontaneous Order,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"The true remedy for most evils is none other than liberty, unlimited and complete liberty, liberty in every field of human endeavor." - Gustave de Molinari

“The true remedy for most evils is none other than liberty, unlimited and complete liberty, liberty in every field of human endeavor.” – Gustave de Molinari

My CommentaryEmbrace the Natural Rights, Equality and Presumed Innocence inherent to Individual Sovereignty (AKA Self-Ownership)! Discard the deadly religion of centralized government, and let us all co-exist through The Non-Aggression Principle of Voluntaryism!
