Document Summary
Freedom as choice (there are bad choices; you have right to choose whatever, but you are responsible for the consequences; why people want to have more stuff: more choices; some people have to be less free) Private property: sort of expression of individual freedom. Red tory: favor of some social spending (some spending, kind or out the conservatives and into the liberalism) Fiscal conservative: reduce the size of government, balance of budget, they have economic tensions with red tories. Social conservative: pull traditional value norms, criminalized prostitution, gambling, drug use, gay marriage, etc. Libertarian: anything that consider as a personal choice, should be left to the individual, those value norms social conservatives against, libertarians think those should belong to personal choices. State of nature: some point, individuals are isolated, but involved in a community. Free: arrange our life and property without being justified anyway. Equal: no one is under jurisdiction of another.
