"Human cooperation depends on rules. The content, source and enforcement of rules are thus most important topics that deserve careful study; merely assuming they can only be provided in one way is a serious mistake. State control of behavior is not the only option."

"What is life when responsibility for one's own well being is taken over by the state? How much liberty does one enjoy when subjected to drug testing, controls on alcohol consumption? What happens to the pursuit of happiness when that is dictated by bureaucratic imperatives?"

"Each of us face a great choice. Shall I quietly accept the system of state control or shall I stand up for self control? Self control is a clear principle applicable to all: every person gets one and only one life to live.
Individuals and groups struggle to control the state, and thus each other."
