Throughout history, societies have lived relatively peacefully within the politics of limited government and individual freedom. No matter where or when prevailing, it has provided the most prosperity. And over the last few generations, prosperity has provided unprecedented longevity. What is there not to like? But some in living a life of endless personal dissatisfaction, seem driven to change things. The nemesis to peace and prosperity has always been crazed authoritarian forces acting only through government. With a number of historical turning points either for or against freedom. Some within this writer’s experience.   I was too young to recall the initiation of World War II by a military dictatorship in September 1939. However, I had turned six only a few weeks before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. And recall the news, conveyed by the radio, newspapers and news reels at the movie theatres. Dad and his two brothers went to war, as did Eddie, the 18-year-old who lived up the street.
