The Way Out
Recovering the understanding that produced the American Revolution.
The nature of a thing is the essence of a thing.
In condemnation of slavery, Abraham Lincoln loved to say that every man was created with a head, hands, and mouth, the implication being that the head should guide the hands in the feeding of the mouth. The alternative is dependence, which does not make us happy.
The right to work and to store up the product of our labor so that we and our families can thrive. The American Founders put this in terms of our natural right to property.
The natural right of mothers and fathers to raise their children.
To interfere with these rights is to interfere with the nature of the human being and so is anti-human.
