Let peace begin with me pledge from Odessa newspaper
The Odessa American quotes Patrick Canty publisher John Kerr and Ken Brodnax in a self described dedication. The piece argues freedom comes from self control and divine gift, insisting true liberty aligns with individual responsibility and moral restraint.
Liberalism and Liberty in a Local Bed and Breakfast Case
The piece contrasts classical liberalism with modern U S political trends as Mario Vargas Llosa extols tolerance and democracy. It describes Seattle homeowners Blayne and Julie McAferty fighting city rules that labeled their Greenlake B and B illegal after remodeling. The Institute for Justice sues to defend their livelihood amid debates over economic liberty and free speech in a politically charged local dispute. George McGovern’s evolving views on government regulation and personal freedom are cited as historical context for liberalism.
