“The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.”
Robert Frost quotes (American poet, 1874-1963)

A Maverick!
"A maverick feels like he has no choice however difficult his choice of expression. In my case, it was going backwards into tonality. It seemed so wrong. The idea that progress is going into the past in a new way is very strange, even though there are precedents." - David Del Tredici

Freedom matters
"Freedom matters.
Freedom has lifted hundreds of millions of people from poverty.
And inspired oppressed peoples' struggle for human rights.
Freedom means directing our own lives.
And realizing remarkable tomorrows.
Libertarianism is the philosophy of freedom.
Libertarians demand that we respect the rights of individuals. And they recognize that, by doing so, we respect their dignity.
Securing individual rights is the purpose of government.
But government can also threaten our rights.
Libertarians would limit government to protecting life, liberty, and property.
Limiting government to these tasks frees us to experiment, innovate, and prosper.
Libertarianism is the philosophy of freedom, one that places liberty at the center of the human experience.
Because freedom matters."
