Default What constitutes a "free society"

In a recent post a poster stated that George Soros wanted freedom for all men. What would a free society look like? What kind of economic system would it have? What controls would exist? Remember: we are, or should be, speaking of all members of that society.

Undoing the last 10-15 years of legislation. (some exceptions may apply but not many)

How about the last 75 years of legislation. Also repealing the 16th and 17th amendments. That would be a good start

I think that a free society would allow for a free market system and let the market determine price and wether the product produced is worth while.

In regards to freedoms, how about allowing for all citizens to have the right to be anything, as long as they work for it?

Well Nathan, in a perfect world, a Free Society in America would be if America could be divided by conservatives living out their lives and dreams under the Reagan Revolution and Economic policies; and the Liberals in America could live out our lives and dreams with the New Deal and FDR's Economics policies!

Wouldn't that be GREAT.......can you think of a better way to put to the test which economic model and Ideology would work out Best!!!! This way, we can have corporations and businesses who believe in Fair Trade and unions work in the Liberal region of the U.S. Likewise, we can have Corporations and businesses who believe in Free Trade and no unions work in the Conservative region of the U.S.

I think America has gotten to the point to where Conservatives and Liberals need to be separated vs continuing all the bashing and name calling.

America can be divided up and re-titled the "LIBERAL STATES OF AMERICA" and the "CONSERVATIVE STATES OF AMERICA"!!!!!

We can even re-write the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and call them respectively; the Conservative Constitution and the Conservative Bill of Rights. Like wise, the Liberal States of America can keepthe current Constitution and Bill of Rights.

What do you say Nathan? Lets try this plan for the next 45 years and see what happens.

I was thinking about the Shampoo cost it'd take to clean up the head of the average RastaMan... Given the amount of dreadlocks, over the average time between baths for such as you...

You're right Rasta. it might not be cost effective. Just learn to stay down-wind from the rest of us. Phew!!!:

Head-Lice must LOVE Rastas...

Rasta, that would be great, but where would liberals buy food since the conservatives grow most of the food in the country?
