To Comfort The Afflicted And Afflict The Comfortable? by Theresa Fritz Camoriano I used to attend a Catholic church, in which we were urged to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable". While I could understand the merits of comforting or helping people who had problems or were "afflicted", I never could understand the desire to harm or afflict people who were comfortable. How could anyone think it was virtuous to harm or afflict anyone else? It seemed to me that this church was promoting a hatred of successful people (the "comfortable"), which was morally wrong and very destructive. NEWS FLASH! MARIJUANA IS NOT EXPLOSIVE! By Woody Oakes When buying an airline ticket do we automatically forfeit our legitimate protection from illegal search and seizure? The Real Jefferson Marco Bassani, scholar in residence at the Mises Institute and author of the introduction to the Italian edition of Rothbard’s Ethics of Liberty, teaches political thought at the University of Milan. He has just completed a treatise on Jefferson’s political thought to be published this year in Italian. Here, he explains that Jefferson followed the ideas of Locke, supported states’ rights, and was generally a classical liberal. |
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right -- a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit. Abraham Lincoln, January 12, 1848
