"Those who would give up essential liberty"

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security.”

Thus spoke Benjamin Franklin.

Yet that “virtuous donation” is the exact philosophy being preached in both the UK and also in USA.

Why ? Why ? Why ?

Here is an interview with a very famous lady - One of the greatest female philosophers ever, yet one studiously ignored by “feminists” whom one might have expected to celebrate her abiliy.

It is not the only interview - probably not even the best one - but this lady has had a huge influence on our lives even so - “Greenspan” for example was apparently one of her followers.

Her thoughts might just give an inkling of the dire straits, a few people believe we are headed towards or perhaps have already entered.

Her optimistic thoughts towards the end of the interview - may shock some !

Interesting interview! Not many people will appreciate what she said about religion and the afterlife, it takes a lot of guts to even consider it especially for those who have grown up with religion.

I just finished an Albert Camus book, this now seems pretty light compared to Ayn Rand haha. Next up, Atlas Shrugged!

Having seen what Wikipee has to say about yours - I think I’ll buy that as well ! :sunglasses:

Perhaps if they want to pit their “penal canned philosophy” against Objectivism - they will say so ?

Otherwise - not our concern ? ::smile:

Indeed. The secret to a stress-free life!
