You can't increase freedom politically
Julie Watner wrote a wonderful little essay exactly ten years ago called "A Definition of Freedom," which defined freedom brilliantly and suggested a fine way to implement it in our time. In part, Julie wrote:
"...I believe the most effective way to spread the freedom idea is to educate ourselves and raise our children to be honest, knowledgeable, confident, responsible lovers of freedom -- to light a single candle. If each one of us lights another candle, and each of those follows suit, the freedom ideas will grow from a quiet bonfine to a WILDFIRE engulfing everything in its path."I recommend this essay to anyone interested in furthering freedom.

Re freedom through knowledge: I read a great quote a couple of months ago. To paraphrase: Education is not the filling of a static vessel, rather it is a match that lights a bonfire!

Julie Watner's not an anarchist... she's an arsonist!
