	Paternalism and Charity in a Free Society \| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
		The great truth is that only a limited government free society would provide the framework and atmosphere in which human beings (free from arbitrary compulsion in all creative aspects of life) could achieve their greatest spiritual and material growth with the least opportunity for mischief.
		Each member of a free society has the maximum opportunity to choose that degree of independence or subservience, responsibility or submission to authority that best suits him at any given time, and to change this voluntary arrangement as he and his needs change.
		The free society, far from lacking compassion toward persons with physical, mental, moral, social, or economic handicaps, will prove to be both just and compassionate, not only to the disadvantaged, but to all persons and groups.

	Civil society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Portal:Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The English word society is derived from the French société, which, in turn, had its origin in the Latin societas, a "friendly association with others," from socius meaning "companion, associate, comrade or business partner." Thus, the meaning of society is closely related to what is considered to be social.
		The social sciences generally use the term society to mean a group of people who form a semi-closed social system, in which most interactions are with other individuals belonging to the group.
		A society is also sometimes defined as an interdependent community, but the sociologist Tonnies sought to draw a contrast between society and community.

	Introduction to Free Software, Free Society - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		"Free" has different senses, only one of which refers to "price." A much more fundamental sense of "free" is the "free," Stallman says, in the term "free speech," or perhaps better in the term "free labor." Not free as in costless, but free as in limited in its control by others.
		Free software is control that is transparent, and open to change, just as free laws, or the laws of a "free society," are free when they make their control knowable, and open to change.
		Using the power of copyright law, "free software" not only assures that it remains open, and subject to change, but that other software that takes and uses "free software" (and that technically counts as a "derivative work") must also itself be free.

	Individualism and the Free Society, Part 2
		Once the individual was free to act, ingenuity and inventiveness proceeded to raise the standard of living to heights that a century earlier would have been judged fantas-tic.
		In the writings of both medievalists and socialists, one can observe the unmistakable longing for a society in which the individual's existence will be automatically guaranteed-that is, in which no one will have to be responsible for his or her own survival.
		It is historically, philosophically, and psychologically signif-icant that not one of the defenders of capitalism chose to attack the position of its opponents at the root, on the level of basic premises; not one of them challenged the altruist--collectivist frame of reference in which all discussions con-cerning the value of capitalism were held.

	Commercial Banking in a Free Society \| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
		After all, the whole justification for the institutions of a free society is that only through its institutions can human beings discover progressively better ways of dealing with scarcity (of both goods and knowledge) and thus improve both our material and non-material welfare.
		In a free society one would expect banks to produce their own brands of currency which would compete for the business of money users.
		Of course banks in a free society would likely develop interbank institutions such as clearing-houses, but these would have no special government privileges and would be forced to compete for members and business.

	Free Society -- and Christianity?
		As the twentieth century dawned it appeared that the ideals of the free society were safely installed in the thinking of the West and progressively realized in practice in the major countries.
		Society is admonished against theft on the grounds that a society in which property is not secure is a poor society.
		After the decay of ancient society and the polarization of Church and State, the distinction between spiritual and secular power in Europe and America for the past nineteen centuries guaranteed that there would always be some separation and dispersal of power within the nation.

	Marketing A Free Society: Education, Persuasion, and Conversion
		Because a free society will not exist unless a sufficient number of people believe in a free society, we must learn both theory and facts and attempt to convince others of the correctness of the freedom philosophy.
		It is possible to analyze society from different vantage points and on different levels of generality in order to develop an enriched picture of the many relationships between the various areas involved.
		Let us hasten the demise of statism and the establishment of a free society by working individually and in concert with others to educate, persuade, and convert people to a just and proper political and economic order that is a true reflection of the nature of man and the world properly understood.

		So we must be clear: A free society cannot survive the collapse of the two-parent family or the absence of fathers, love, and discipline in the lives of so many children.
		It was during this rebuilding of the moral foundations of a free society that French historian Alexis de Tocqueville came to America in 1831.
		Roosevelt reinforced his battle for political and economic reform by publicly, vigorously, and consistently reasserting the notion that there must be a moral foundation to a free society.

	Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society - Free net encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) is the most prominent environmental organization that dedicates itself to "conservation and welfare of all whales, dolphins and porpoises."
		On May 1 1995, the society published a full-page advertisement in The Times campaigning against Whaling in the Faroe Islands, featuring emotive pictures of dead whales, saying that "whaling is murder and murder is wrong." The WDCS also claimed that the (supposedly anti-whaling) views of the Faroese people were being suppressed by the pro-whaling Government.
		The Society is very closely linked to out of the blue holidays, a eco-tourism company that packages whale watching trips around the world.

	Moral Obligation and the Free Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The free society recognizes that its citizens are free moral agents, and it depends on their conscious deference to norms of justice.
		In contrast to societies based on fear and repression, a free society, I have argued, is possible due to the ethical internal mores of its citizens.
		One type of society is the postmodern one, inhabited by the institutions of its forbears, which are based on the objective principles of a bygone era.

	The Price of a Free Society
		It was during the 1960s that the public-opinion analysts Lloyd Free and Hadley Cantril famously pointed out that Americans tend to be ideologically conservative and operationally liberal.
		The very nature of a postindustrial society is that the total share of the economy devoted to education and other services tends to grow.
		A free people, acting together, must have some means of placing decisions outside the market to provide public goods and to avoid making all the conditions of life depend on individual economic capacities.

	Solving Problems in a Free Society, by Harry Browne
		The transition to a society of legalized drugs is a different problem from the economic transition after World War II.
		Free people will sort things out because they have to in order to get what they want; politicians know only how to play political games.
		All we have to know is that free people have much more incentive to solve problems than do politicians whose own livelihood and life savings are never on the line.

	Intercollegiate Studies Institute - About ISI - The Principles Of A Free Society
		Personal responsibility is central to the idea of a free society and to the concept of self-government.
		Because each individual is morally responsible for his acts, citizens in a free society have an obligation to educate themselves to further the common good through the political process: this is the proper and necessary function of self-government.
		Allocating resources by the free play of supply and demand is the single economic system compatible with the requirements of a free society, and also the most productive and efficient supplier of human needs.

	What A Free Society Really Is
		A free society sounds pretty great to me. With very few taxes we can all afford all the things he listed (hint---we pay for them anyway with a lot of waste by government involved).
		He exaggerates though because a free society can still have health insurance and most people would probably choose to have it ---especially if there was no Medicaid to fall back on.
		A free society is one in which social and economic enteractions a re made on the basis of mutual individual voluntaty agreement.

	A Free Society
		Greed can motivate us to defend a free society in which we already have investments, and it can motivate us to invest in an established free society, but it cannot motivate us to make sacrifices to establish a free society unless we are fools.
		To win and keep a free society, libertarians need to promote the myth of a higher law so that we can take advantage of the strong emotions associated with the moral sense and channel that energy into a movement dedicated to liberty and justice.
		To establish a free society and to maintain order in a such a society, we must believe in a higher morality than subservience to the state.

	Toward a Free and Virtuous Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		If the advocates of free markets in a free society were to wrongly identify the City of God with the City of Man, they would make the same error that Christian socialists of various stripes—from the social gospel movement through today's recently deceased liberation theology—have committed.
		Beyond that, the promotion of virtue is best left to the province of natural society, that is, done within the spheres of authority of the Church, the family, the community, and at the demands of tradition.
		It might be argued that it is counterintuitive to believe that human beings left free of constraint to follow their own choices and goals will cooperate with one another in such a way as to produce a cohesive social system.
