Justice: What's The Right Thing To Do? This Land is My Land
John Locke is both a supporter and detractor from the theory of Libertarianism. Locke argues that in the “state of nature”, before any political structure has been established, every human has certain natural rights to life, liberty—and property.

Tonight: Episode 4 - If we all have unalienable rights to life, liberty, and property, how can a government enforce tax laws passed by the representatives of a mere majority?
