My idea of freedom

Here is my contribution for the panel on freedom, which got hammered out today after I cleared my head with an hour and a half of basketball, mostly unsuccessfully trying to keep up with a 20-year-old Vietnamese kid. My goal here was to speak against the idea of individual responsibility.

Mark Skousen, the organizer, told me he thought the panel might be on C-SPAN, but he told me that about the medical panel earlier. In any case, I was overwhelmed by the valuable suggestions that people offered for the health care session.
