Personal Responsibility and The Law of Freedom: Reclaiming our Sovereignty

Freedom and personal responsibility are inseparable. The more personal responsibility you are willing to undertake in life, the more freedom you will enjoy. The less personal responsibility you are willing to undertake, the less freedom you will enjoy.

The reason human beings still do not live in any kind of free society is because humanity is not yet willing to embrace true freedom. The mere thought of it terrifies most people; just ask the average person whether or not he thinks drugs should be legalised, and gauge their reaction. See, it's much easier to delegate personal responsibility to politicians and governments, that way, there's always someone else to blame when things go wrong. The politicians and governments can decide how much money we can earn, what substances we can and can not ingest, and where we ought to travel, and with whom.

The reason our freedom is continually being eroded is because personal responsibility is becoming an increasingly alien concept to an ever increasing number of human beings. There's always someone else to blame: The rich, the Tories, the socialists, the conservatives, the controlling boss at work, the nagging wife, whatever. Rarely is the individual at fault for his mistakes and mishaps, his poor life decisions and fuck-ups. Nah, it's always someone else's fault. Everyone is merely a victim of circumstance, powerless to create any real change in their lives and the world around them.

Better to trust the government with our freedoms, they know what's best.
