FLYJAMES: Years ago I was in West Africa I saw there some small peoples thay were free to come and go as thay will.
Again in North Africa there was this man all of his belongings he could just pack-up with in an hour and leave not worrying about paying tax.
now those Little People are being hounded off their traditional Places into the Desert,and the Man in North-Africa most likely now pays Taxes to some Despot or other!
FLYJAMES: Are there any free people on the earth? Where are thay? And what makes them free.
Man Is Free even if he is born in Chains! Friedrich v.Schiller (?) Because Man is free to think or not to think! To paraphrase the Bard,"To think or Not to think,that is the question! But either way,you are not free to escape the consequences of your action!
Freedom, in a political context, means freedom from government coercion. It does not mean freedom from the landlord, or freedom from the employer, or freedom from the laws of nature which do not provide men with automatic prosperity. It means freedom from the coercive power of the state—and nothing else. Ayn Rand
