"For most of our history, Americans enjoyed both liberty and security from foreign threats." ― Harry Browne Topic(s): History More From Harry Browne "The American way was for commerce, personal relationships, and religion to be voluntary. No one was forced to participate in something he didn’t want." "Since no one but you can know what’s best for you, government control can’t make your life better." "You don’t have to buy from anyone. You don’t have to work at any particular job. You don’t have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose."
