The Love of Power vs. Power of Love

You can always count on Larry Reed of the Mackinac Center to put libertarian ideas into the simplest, most people-friendly terms. This column does not disappoint.

As Reed explains:


When real love is the motivator, people deal with each other peacefully. We use force only in self-defense. We respect one another's rights and differences. Tolerance and cooperation govern our interactions.

Simply put, allowing others to live their own lives is far more loving than is forcing them to behave you wish them to even if it is theoretically for their own good. That is an uncommon sentiment in today's world.

Free-for-all (frfr-ôl) -- n. A disorderly fight, argument, or competition in which everyone present participates.
