“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you’ll be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

Rudyard Kipling

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only  exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the  public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the  candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the  result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed  by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has  been two hundred years.”

Alexander Tyler, “The Fall of the Athenian Republic,” 1770.

“Is uniformity attainable?

Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned: yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites.”

Thomas Jefferson "Notes on the State of Virginia" QUERY XVII, 1781

Classic Liberalism opposes the draft because the smallest minority in society is the individual.  The central moral question when it comes to examining a law (like the draft) is how it treats the individual at his level.

“Our battalions for the Continental service were some time ago so far filled as rendered the recommendation of a draught from the militia hardly requisite, and the more so as in this country it ever was the most unpopular and impracticable thing that could be attempted.1 Our people even under the monarchical government had learnt to consider it as the last of all oppressions.”

Thomas Jefferson Letter to John Adams

May 16th, 1777

Benjamin Franklin on Welfare:

“I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer.”

Benjamin Franklin “On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor” November 27th, 1766

“Oligarch & tyrant... both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.”

Aristotle, 350 BC "Politics," Chapter 5

Same quote, different translation.  This second translation is from H. Rackham, Harvard University Press, 1944:

“And it is manifest that tyranny has the evils of both democracy and oligarchy; it copies oligarchy in making wealth its object （for inevitably that is the only way in which the tyrant's body-guard and his luxury can be kept up） and in putting no trust in the multitude, which is why they resort to the measure of stripping the people of arms”

Edgard Allix summarizing JB Say’s viewpoint:

“The productive power of industry is limited only by ignorance and by the bad administration of States.  Spread enlightenment and improve governments, or, rather, prevent them from doing harm; there will be no limit that can be assigned to the multiplication of wealth.”

Source: “J. B. Say et les origines de l’industrialisme,” 1910

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."

Rick Kelo - A Diverse Education

The choices in education that one makes and the career path that is eventually taken are things linked very strongly in the today’s political climate. Very often politicians make the connection between study and work in order to emphasis the need for vocational courses that extol experience and practicality as opposed to disposable and trivial knowledge. This opinion is being put into practice across the board as more academies and private schools opening focusing on single trades or expertise. Despite this there are still arguments in favor of a diverse education and touches on more bases than one, and the evidence lies in the figures that have had success in the corporate world today.

Rick Kelo is an entrepreneur and economic expert that has had a great deal of attention and good reputation in his fields. Previously Rick Kelo has worked as a finance analyst, economic adviser and team builder at several well established associations of business. At this point in time he is able to command top positions from companies due to the experience he has had and the success he has achieved in his many positions. The driving factor behind the career of Rick Kelo is education. Without the many years that Rick Kelo put into study he would not have seen the results he has today, nor would he be able to achieve the results he does for other companies. Just what kind of education as Rick Kelo had to ensure him this position?

Rick Kelo - Leadership and Adaptability

There are many writers and motivational speakers out there that speak of leadership as something that must be built and made solid like a foundation inside us. The values that they speak of such as strength, charisma and quick decision making are all things that they think should be at the core of any leader no matter what the situation. The question remains every time one moves to a new scenario; are there certain traits that are common to all leaders? Or are there in fact different things that require very different thinking? In the world of corporate finance, analytic s and business deals the traits of leadership fall largely into the latter category. In this article we will see the kinds of adaptable traits that can be found in this changing and fast paced world.

Looking to certain individuals can help us to find some of the things we are looking for. Of course the best examples will be in diverse careers that have years of experience behind them so that we can verify some of these skills. Rick Kelo is one such entrepreneur who has managed to undertake a great many roles with many different qualifications under his belt. Rick Kelo is certainly regarded as a leader in his field, but he displays skills and  characteristics that do not fall into the stereotype of the rough and ready, snap decision leader. Instead of pushing those around him aside to make room for himself Rick Kelo has focused on building teams and improving social relations around him so that he can become a fully functioning of any institution that actually helps the company to grow as a whole.

Such achievements were made when working in the fields of human resources and talent scouting. Rick Kelo was hired by several companies with the intention of improving their workplace as a whole. He made this happen by honing his social skills and communicative talents, employing them in order to improve these very same things in other people. Ensuring that others work smoothly and well together is a very difficult thing that requires acute social perception. Having demonstrated this skill, Rick Kelo has made a name for himself as a leader that is unique and different from others in his personable and progressive approaches.

The only morally consistent philosophy for the relations between people is leave others free to choose for themselves.
