The Individual vs "The State" (2013)

"A gigantic worldwide struggle. "We face a war to the death, a gigantic worldwide struggle. We must face it, enter it, take part in it. In fact, we are all taking part in the struggle, whether we will or not. Upon its final issue, liberty lives or dies." Yes, we all love the gospel -- or should do. We should all strive to live according to its precepts. But the basic thread running through the gospel plan is the freedom, the right of choice, of the individual. The gospel can prosper only where there is freedom. J. Reuben Clark Jr. "There are two contending Forces. Those forces are known and have been designated by different terms throughout the ages. 'In the beginning' they were known as Satan on the one hand, and Christ on the other...In these days, they are called 'Domination by The State,' on one hand, 'Personal Liberty,' on the other."
