Embracing Knowledge and Technology for Liberty

Friends, it seems to me that we are at an interesting crossroads in history. However, many don’t know or appreciate where we came from, and most have no idea where we should be heading.

Care About Your Rights? Let’s Talk About It

Let me make something abundantly clear: an unalienable or natural right naturally exists in the absence of authority and does not inherently infringe upon the rights of another.
