Ring Pass Not MMO HistoryShadowland, lv. 80 ___________________________________________ When reality comes to confront me, I’ll continue to live this life Dreaming lets you know reality exists…Given the choice, whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire; or to challenge the fates for another throw – a better throw – against one’s destiny… what was a king to do? But does one even truly have a choice? One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate… and thus defy the tyrannous stars… Forever in the puzzle of my life…J.W. Goethe – Faust Paul Feyerabend Vintersorg Friedrich August von Hayek…While the uses of liberty are many, Liberty is one! We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers What is important is not what freedom I personally would like to exercise but what freedom some person may need in order to do things beneficial to society – this freedom we can assure to the unknown person only by giving it to all Experience should teach us to be on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s puroposes are beneficiant I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation, usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments Rationalists tend to be intelligent and intellectual; and intelligent intellectuals tend to be socialist! The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design!

Ludwig von MisesLiberalism serves everyone, but it serves no special interest The inner blessings—happiness, peace of mind, exaltation—must be sought by each man within himself alone We see that as soon as we surrender the principle that the state should not interfere in any questions touching on the individual’s mode of life, we end by regulating and restricting the latter down to the smallest detail. The personal Liberalism has no party flower and no party color, no party song and no party idols, no symbols and no slogans. It has the substance and the arguments. These must lead it to victory. All mankind’s progress has been achieved as a result of the initiative of a small minority that began to deviate from the ideas and customs of the majority until their example finally moved the others to accept the innovation themselves. To give the majority the right to dictate to the minority what it is to think, to read, and to do is to put a stop to progress once and for all. Against what is stupid, nonsensical, erroneous, and evil, liberalism fights with the weapons of the mind, and not with brute force and repression If men err and go astray, then one must History Abhors a Paradox
