Now for your perfect example of your concept of liberty, try again. Where is reality of your concept of liberty in the US? You just criticized Obama in another thread. 'The founding of the US republic' you say? Where are they now in relation to your concept of liberty? Maybe Ron Paul can bring back that concept, but has to win first. Will he? And China? They remain communists as far as i know. Economic liberty, perhaps but not quite, but what about the other liberties.
A concrete example of a country now or in the past, including Bastiats time where the law was not perverted, and liberty as you have defined existed. That would be enlightening.
See, a very good example of why Filipinos will never solve our own problem. I thought we are here to share our brilliant ideas for the common goal. Instead we are now commenting negatives to shared issues. I am not saying that sometimes we need to react and oppose for the sake of balance or harmony or if it is really a horrible opinion. But would it be nice also to give more positive ideas rather than negative ones.
