Litmus Test

Every proposed reform should be put through the following litmus: Does the reform grow government or grow the dominion of personal liberty?

If the reform grows government, it must be cast aside, or phased in as part of the local political, economic and cultural regime.

If the reform grows the dominion of personal liberty, move ahead with adopting it and making it the law of the land, the state or the canton, whatever be the natural limits of its applicability and relevance.
