Personal Freedom . . .
http://www.pbs.org/jefferson/enlight/person.htm

From your link:

"Yet all Jefferson's happiness at Monticello, his whole "art of avoiding
pain," came at the cost of inflicting pain on others - the pain of
slavery. Slaves built Jefferson's home and rebuilt it. Slaves cultivated
his gardens and fields. Slaves cared for his grandchildren and served
his friends. Jefferson owned slaves throughout his life, kept a slave
beside him as he wrote the Declaration of Independence, brought slaves
to Washington as he restored democracy to American government. While
other Virginians freed their slaves, Jefferson remained a slaveholder to
his death. Slaves even dug his grave."

Dave,

I would imagine that you would have fit-in as a
Jim Dandy "Overseer" during Jefferson's Time.

a fine example of a 'cracker' ~ RHF

So "personal freedom" as a virtue is pure BS, isn't it?

Freedom from despotism without the free expression of liberty is not
liberty.

No matter who holds the chains.


"Express liberty"? How does one "express liberty"? What does "free"
mean? How is different than chaos? There's your answer.

We are free to make rules.
