Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of thought-provoking essays is a reminder about the importance of individual liberty in a world moving toward more systems of government putting the group first. O'Connell explores how power, politics and propaganda lead to supremacy of the collective over the free individual. The danger, he contends, is that despite allegedly good intentions the elite collectivists and secularists are apt to consider those who believe in God as candidates for the Flat Earth Society. O'Connell's key philosophy: "Individual liberty is our birthright...Respect for life is the key to both individual liberty and group harmony." He says a Divine Plan is at work in the destinies of individuals and nations. Unimpressed with mob dynamics, he stresses individual liberty.
