David Boaz

“Libertarianism is the view that each person has the right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others. Libertarians defend each person's right to life, liberty, and property - rights that people possess naturally, before governments are created. In the libertarian view, all human relationships should voluntary; the only actions that should be forbidden by law are those that involve the initiation of force against those who have themselves used force - actions like murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, and fraud. ”
― David Boaz, Libertarianism: A Primer

“It’s the exercise of power, not the exercise of freedom, that requires justification.”
― David Boaz, The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom
