Jim McKelvey has followed the philosophy of liberty all of his life. He believes in freedom and personal responsibility, and knows that the two are inseparable.
The philosophy of liberty begins with the idea of self-ownership. That is, you own yourself.
You also have several inalienable rights, including:
- Life
- Liberty
- & Property
No one person or group of people has the right to deprive you of any of these things.
The video below describes this philosophy in one of the simplest, shortest, most eloquent ways possible.
Please take a few minutes to watch the video (below).
About The Video
The website, http://www.philosophyofliberty.blogspot.com, has more information about this video and describes it as follows.
"The Philosophy of Liberty (PoL) is a flash animation based of what is now the epilogue of Ken Schoolland's book, "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible." It began in 1992 as a Russian translation of the book was being published. The publisher Dmitry Costygin informed Ken that few people in Russia even knew what 'property' or 'taxes' were, and Ken responded by writing an introduction that described the philosophy of his book. It became so popular that it now appears as the epilogue in every language edition (40+ and counting), and it inspired
Kerry Pearson (aka Lux Lucre) to create a flash animation.
By 2005, the animation had reached thousands online... ...With the advent of online video sharing sites, it seemed a video version would be an ideal way to reach people that might not otherwise find the flash version online. So far, tens of thousands have viewed the video version and now to make the PoL even more accessible, all 14 languages have been converted to various video formats."
