Neutrality
“The rights of neutrality will only be respected when they are defended by an adequate power. A nation, despicable by its weakness, forfeits even the privilege of being neutral.”
– Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 11, 1787)
The same principles as outlined above hold true for individuals. Anyone can say “Leave me alone! I want to live in peace!” but if you’ve no way to back up that statement then the violent and corrupt will do what they want. The current push by the United Nations to disarm all civilians around the world will lead to even greater abuses by governments and criminal and rebel elements. It has always been so and human nature has not changed. True neutrality must be based on the means to defend it against all comers – this is true of individuals as well as nations.
