Freedom Makes us Better People

There are lots of reasons to love freedom and liberty. One good one that is not talked about enough is that, contrary to popular belief, markets lend themselves to helping our fellow humans. Don’t believe me?

Check out this story and contrast the “compassion and understanding” of the nameless, faceless bureaucrats at the TSA with the courageous and loving actions of the pilot of the Southwest Airlines jet. I’ve always enjoyed flying Southwest and do so now more than ever with a little one and the need to check luggage on most trips.

Thank you to Southwest Airlines for showing the world that having the freedom to be compassionate is what freedom is all about!
