The more I listen to the news, the more I read and listen to others, the more I observe a misunderstanding about Freedom. It appears to me the greatest misunderstanding is relative to “Rights” in general and property Rights in particular. For many, the difference in one’s Rights and one’s “value” judgments is an area of confusion.
Going to the dictionary for a definition of Rights offers little help in getting a clear-cut understanding. My dictionary says: “Done in accordance with or comfortable with moral law or to some standard of rightness; equitable; just; righteous. Comfortable to truth or fact. Proper, fit; suitable.”
