A free society is a society where people shall have the right to exercise unlimited freedom in their own lives, freedom to live in whatever manner they choose, freedom to pursue their own goals, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal rights of others to do the same. Government's only role is to secure each individual's rights, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence. I took an oath to God that my mission in life is to strive to attain a free society.

My favorite quotes: "It is the duty of the patriot to protect this country from its government." -----Thomas Paine-- "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -----Thomas Jefferson-- "I love my country, but I don't trust its government." -----Thomas Bell-- "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -----Johann (not Thomas!) von Goethe-- "We must obey God rather than men." ----Peter and the other apostles (Acts 5:29)-- "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free." ----Paul the Apostles through God and Jesus Christ (Galatians 5:1)-- "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." -----George Washington-- "I know not what course others may take, but as for me; give me liberty, or give me death!" -----Patrick Henry--
