Reflecting on JFK

"The free man will ask neither what his country can do for him nor what he can do for his country. He will ask rather "What can I and my compatriots do through government" to help us discharge our individual responsibilities, to achieve our several goals and purposes, and above all, to protect our freedom?" ~ Milton Friedman

"Today marks the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's presidency, beginning with his historic inaugural address...Much less remarked upon was Kennedy's defense of individual rights, freedom, a hawkish foreign policy, and resistance of atheistic communism."
