It is typically conceded that a starving man is not free, and this marks the alleged defining flaw of a free market, the commoditization of labor.

I posted a recap on DFW Alliance of the Libertarian Left of a recent food drive I volunteered for. Great success!
It is frustrating having politicians talk about rights.

Generally, I agree that the terms “left” and “right” in the mainstream political vernacular are a false alternative.
