You may notice most of the included quotes and comments have something to do with both LIBERTY and personal responsibility, especially THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE. Please note, these are intertwined and cannot, under any reasoning, be separated. If personal, much less corporate, defense is absent, liberty soon dies. Increased responsibility, accompanied by protection of life and personal property, begets increased liberty.

What is the difference between freedom and liberty? Aren't they the same?

No. Not quite.

According to Wiktionary, FREEDOM means to be unaccountable. While we may think we desire this condition, its extreme application leads to anarchy and a very poor society.

LIBERTY means:

Being free from control or restrictions
Free from imprisonment, slavery or forced labor
Free to act, believe or express oneself as one chooses
Freedom from excess government
A short period when a sailor is allowed ashore
A breach of social convention

The two words are related and frequently confused in our minds.

Liberty and Freedom are to be cherished. Fought for. Perhaps even die for. We certainly die with out its blessings.

Personally, I am increasingly libertarian in my thought processes. While I can not whole-heartedly endorse the Libertarian Party in their extremes, I must confess they are increasingly more attractive than the alternatives.
