"Freedom"

The following was copied from the following site:

· Freedom is a basic human right recognized by the United Nations and international treaties, and is the heart of social justice.
· Freedom is an engine of economic and human development, and scientific and technological advancement.
· Freedom ameliorates the problem of mass poverty.
· Free people do not suffer from and never have had famines, and by theory, should not. Freedom is therefore a solution to hunger and famine.
· Free people have the least internal violence, turmoil, and political instability.
· Free people have virtually no government genocide and mass murder, and for good theoretical reasons. Freedom is therefore a solution to genocide and mass murder; the only practical means of making sure that "Never again"
· Free people do not make war on each other, and the greater the freedom within two nations, the less violence between them.
· Freedom is a method of nonviolence--the most peaceful nations are those whose people are free.

Just a random thought as I pass this way today;
