services or any of his own property in exchange for the goods or services of others with whom mutually acceptable prices can be negotiated. He must be free to search the universe for truth and to speak and publish as he sees fit. He must be free to worship his own God, or not to worship at all if that be his desire. He must be free to collaborate with his fellows in doing any or all of these things, or in doing anything at all which does not directly interfere with the exercise of the same freedoms by any other human being. Then and only then will he be able to pursue his accepted aim of life.
Indeed, is not freedom necessary to pursue any worthy aim of life? Regimented, a person can do little except obey. And is obedience-except to God-a worthy aim of life?
Libertarians complain that modern men are blind to the precious nature of freedom. Perhaps their eyes would be opened if each could be led to ask and answer for himself the great question of life: "What am I here for?"
