LibertyJust doing a little reading and I came across this quote:
"For example, America was founded on the idea of liberty, but we have taken that to the extreme. Originally, the word meant 'the right to do what is right.' But this postmodern society has changed its meaning so that, for many people today, liberty is defined as 'the right to do whatever I want to do.' However, true liberty will not cost others their liberty."
This is really interesting ... both from the perspective that America's founders possibly held to that definition and that it has changed SO much. What do you think is the better definition? How should a society define liberty? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
