Personal Freedom . . .

*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.

had some relatives that 'owned' Slaves.

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

Dave - That would be a "No" {BS} ~ RHF

Dave "My" Personal Freedom . . .
The Freedom to Be Yourself {Self-Defining} -and-
Allowing Others To Do the Same for Themselves

- That's gibberish.

Dave - My Personal Freedom of Though and Expression
is what you define as 'gibberish'.

- Liberty refers to the people not being subjects
- of a king or other despotic rule.

Dave may be that was the 'limited' definition in the 1700s
but it has evolved far beyond that now.

-*You seem to think it's some form of
- personal license to do whatever you want.
