    I read some comments recently in which it seems that there are now people who think that freedom means things like a basic government wage for existing and universal health care. Talk about a forehead slap. Such a simple concept. Freedom means vast open opportunities, but not a single guarantee. Freedom is not the removal of natural obstacles (physical ability limitations, environmental hazards, et cetera); it's the absence of artificial obstacles (mandates, government regulations, taxation on labor and local commerce) Freedom tends to be messy. It is quite often lacking in all but the barest comforts and luxuries. Also to be committed to freedom can be quite lonely these days but for me life would not be worth living without it.

    @@foxtrotjulietbravo5536 I agree with your point if not your words. They are anything but subtle anymore imo, although they always still deny their perfidiousness. I think maybe the battle to retain meaning pertaining to words has already been lost relative to the masses, and maybe that means that the grand experiment in freedom is merely living on past momentum. I remind myself pretty regular that the most important thing is not to win the war, but to fight on the correct side. Is it better to have been a complacent slacker who took everything for granted when things were good after enough men of meaning made it so, OR to see things crumble before you, but to be one of those holding it together in your own little part of the world? There are many who bemoan losing the good old days, but, save for a few, they were never the ones to make the days good; they merely enjoyed the benefits.

    C H also rubbished the Catholic Church, making very sweeping comments about it that fed the bias of the crowd. He was not interested in reasoned argument. He was there to entertain and get laughs. Being knowledgeable, well-read, eloquent and 'witty' he presented a very biased picture of the Church and everyone found it hilarious. He chose to focus on the barnacles hanging off the Church, claimed certain things were dogma when they were not, etc. Great pity for him; great pity for anyone listening to him.

    The last scene in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" is quite touching and moving. In the scene, the now elderly Ryan, visiting the US military cemetry at Normandy in France, was kneeling down before the tombstone of Capt Miller who led a squad to save him. Ryan was contemplating if the life he had led since the war was good enough for (the sacrifice made by) Miller. Maybe the best way for generations born after WW2 to not let down the sacrifices which many Allied soldiers had made is to live as decent and as honest as possible life.

One thing that resonates with me is the notion that history repeatedly reminds us that to much power in the hands of government & religious order is inherently corrupt .

    One of the eye opening concepts I learned from Dennis : freedom is not a natural human value. I wouldn't have thought that because I have a strong enough desire for freedom to give up many things. That put The Exodus in perspective, as well as understanding my fellow humans.

    Dennis is wrong as usual. Why human rights, non human rights and environmentalism must be defended. All life matters. Conservative and Dennis deny this reality. Why Conservative values and religious dogma are a threat to all life. And why church attendances and Conservative govts are falling globally. Wake up.

    Hi John. Love the show. You have talked on this show and others about the rationalism versus emotionalism divide. I think you'd find it useful to read Thomas Sowell's book "A Conflict of Visions", where he writes about the unconstrained versus the constrained visions and takes it back to at least the 19th Century in fields as diverse as Justice, Social Process and Knowledge and Reason. I think it provides a great depth of insight into where the line is drawn in these revolutionary times of ours.

    Why doesn't Islam come up more often in these discussions? Islam IS a Bible-based religion, adheres to the Ten Commandments, and has a lot more in common with "Western religions" than, say, Hinduism or Buddhism. But it came up in this hour-long conversation only once, and as something supposedly foreign and alien. I'm not accusing Prager of being anti-Muslim, mind you. I"m accusing him of bad theology.

    Its a position not often articulated by commentators from this country, with perhaps the exception of Lieghton Smith, and he is an expat Australian. The interview was really a world inclusive one in the sense that it appertained to our western future. We are often referred to Australasia in this part of the world. Apart from that I just find John Anderson eminently measured and sensible . I fully realise we often have a difference of opinion on some subjects but by and large history and our geographic position in the world mean that we follow a similar coarse in the world, I know there are a lot of people in NZ who follow JAs podcasts
