Independence and Responsibility
John Hayward writes about freedom:
Responding to criticism of his notorious push to outlaw the sale of large sodas in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg penned a defensive op-ed for USA Today, in which he completely fails to appreciate why he’s become a national laughing stock, as well as the living symbol of the creepy nanny state...
Bloomberg’s soda ban [or his ban on firearms] is just one sobering reminder that independence and responsibility are inextricably linked. If people don’t want to accept responsibility for their actions, they must sacrifice their liberty as well.
