True freedom is the capacity for acting according to one`s true character, to be altogether one`s self, to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion.
Alan Mattox
To many, the word coercion implies arbitrary decisions of distant and irresponsible bureaucrats; but this is not a necessary part of its meaning.
Alex Hamilton
