Adueago Libertas

It's latin for "greater freedom" (by the way, I translated it off of google, so if that's conjugated wrong or something, let me know.  The less I look like a moron, the better).  It pretty much sums up my philosophy of life.  It can also work as a domestic political philosophy, but that's not the sense i'm thinking of right now.

It boils dow to a quote from "pagan" spirituality: "An it hurt no one, do as ye will."  It means that freedom is paramount.  The only "morals" that dictate social interactions are the wills of the participants.  The only moral "right" that should be considered is the freedom of the individuals.  The only restrictions should be those which protect an unwilling person from harm or destruction of property.  Notice that I said "unwilling", that's an important part.  It differs from how most people think today. 

People beleive that it is morally imperative to protect a person from harming themself.  This is insane.  Any adult who has the facts, the knowlege of what the consequenses of his actions are likely to be, should be free to hurt themselves to their heart's desire.  To restrict a person from harming themself, is to restrict their freedom. 

And freedom, my friends, is paramount.
