Louis J. Halle Quote

"If what is best in mankind, and what its progress depends on,
manifests itself primarily in the individual
and only secondarily in the mass,
then our objectives should be to maintain such freedom
as allows the individual to think and speak for himself."

Yes. Individual freedom is more important that "the greater good" (socialism and communism).  -- Joe, Rochester, MI
Sort of an anemic, back handed, and apologetic squeak at Joe above's more accurate assessment.  -- Mike, Norwalk
Well said,Joe.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx
I agree, but why does it sound like a 'BUT' follows this quote from a 'policy-maker at the U.S. Department of State' ? ;-)  -- E Archer, NYC
