EDITOR’S NOTE
Robert LeFevre, president and founder of the Freedom School, has also served as the editorial writer for the Gazette Telegraph in Colorado Springs, since 1954. In addition to several thousand editorials, he has written numerous articles for the Freeman Magazine, including: “The Straight Line,” “Jim Leadbetter’s Discovery,” “Shades of Hammurabi,” “Grasshoppers and Widows,” and “Coercion at the Local Level.”
His article “Even the Girl Scouts” (Human Events, 1953) led to a recall of the Handbook of this organization and extensive revisions. His book, “The Nature of Man and His Government,” has recently been published by Caxton Printers, Caldwell, Idaho.
ANARCHY
A rational being, intent upon learning the nature of liberty or freedom, is confronted almost at once with innumerable instances of governmental predation against liberty.
As the subject of liberty is pursued, the more frequently and the more persistently the fact emerges that governments have been one of the principal opponents if not the only principal opponent to liberty.
Invariably, this discovery leads the perspiring seeker after truth to a fork in the road. Is it possible, the aspirant to libertarian certainty asks himself, to pursue the end of the rainbow of liberty into a miasma of quicksand and uncertainty?
