Clicking on the picture will open a new window with a larger version See more photos. Not much to say today... but I did find this post at Information Pollution interesting, enough so that I could think of nothing else today while I was out mowing the grass. Personal liberty is something that we must all strive for. I think, however, that if we keep in mind the goals of our society as we make our own personal choices in life, we should be able to strengthen both at the same time. If that involves sacrifice in the now, then perhaps the series of connected events that occur from your actions will come back and help you out when you're in need. I see it as a "can't have one without the other" type deal. Sometimes it takes the collective action of many individuals to secure their own liberties. And I don't think anyone ever wants to get to the point where all human activity is viewed through the lens of collective benefit. For what its worth, I think we need to reclaim the idea of collective responsibility. The ideals of community and social responsibility were around for a long time before we decided that any form of collective action inevitably leads to socialism. What has been demonized is not collectivism in any form, just those forms that threaten the established power structure. |
