Janos on Rightful Liberty


Janos explores Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.

I would add a single caveat, it is in my personal "Code", if you will.  Jefferson said, and I'll paraphrase, If it neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg, it is not my concern.

In my world, I add: But once I know that one's intent is to pick my pocket or break my leg, (or that of my Tribe) I am morally free to strike first.  And I don't do Proportionate Response.

Here's the link.  It is a good piece.
