Hayek calls this utopian vision The Road to Serfdom. And we see it in operation here, as we are in the process of choosing, as a society, between Liberty – the freedom from the State to pursue happiness, and a supposed but impossible Equality, which, as it could only be brought about by a State capable and empowered to function in all facets of life, means totalitarianism and eventual dictatorship.
– David Marmet, author (from the The Secret Knowledge), playwright
It is also the case, in this time, that Freedom must diminish for greater “Security and Safety” – again, being used as a pretext by those in favor of a larger and more controlling Government simply from the arrogance that they know what is better for us than we do.
