What do you think of that Human freedom Index?
KW: mmm, Here, People are supposed to come and go as they please. I checked it out, it is worth measuring carefully.
JE: Yes, Wikipedia lists about 13 freedom indices. “Human Freedom Index” and “Freedom in the 50 States,” are my favorites. But the data is usually generated by governments… governments sometimes just lie.
KW: How many states are in the USA?
JE: 50
KW: And is there any way how Libertarian and Liberals are related? Some liberal five years back deceived me they are 52 or so?
JE: 50 states, then Territories too: Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Marianas Islands. There is also the District of Colombia and minor outlying islands: Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, Navassa Island, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Island.
KW: Okay
JE: Did I ask if you were a Libertarian or Classical Liberal?
KW: You did. I am Libertarian.
JE: Are there local meetings you can attend?
KW: No, I’m in Uganda. Things are so different here.
JE: What is the closest thing to a libertarian party there?
KW: I wonder my self if I can any fellow here.
JE: How did you become a libertarian?
KW: I heard a statement 6 years back someone told me that they shall be Liberated by the renewing of their minds, it sounded in my head all this long and I was wondering what it meant since I never had a chance to a good education.
JE: That was Romans 12:1-2
KW: Luckily after 5 years, I became friends with a Libertarian friend. We have been sharing good words heartfelt. I asked him about his political party and he said he was a Libertarian.
I decided to become one too… I love him and his family for really he is a good man. That’s how I became one; Loving to learn more. Tax is a big mess here. Imagine we pay for Internet data and tax as well per day.
It’s called OTT tax.
JE: So, you have a good friend that told you about libertarianism and you trusted him just because he was a good man and a good friend?
KW: Yes, I have a friend… Not really he just told me that he is a Libertarian and I wished to be one my self.
JE: Just because of his nature?
KW: I have been though thinking to find out more about the party.
JE: What do you know about libertarianism?
KW: You know this road is hard. Youth men like me need mentors.
JE: What questions do you have? How old are you?
KW: 24 years old.
JE: Basically libertarianism is; don’t hurt people, and don’t take their stuff. So, you feel like you need a mentor?
KW: YES PLEASE SIR, Not only feeling, I do wish for / Need for/ Praying for /seeking for a mentor.
JE: What would you expect of a mentor?
KW: Knowledge
JE: What would you give in return?
KW: Trust, fruits, and legacy.
JE: Legacy?
KW: Yes, I will pass on the knowledge to the next generation. I really have nothing much to offer in return but toil and sweat.
JE: My wisdom and emotional support I share freely, please don’t ask me to send money. My father died when I was 12, I really missed having him as I grew up. I would ask you to do me a favor.
It is free to start a Facebook group. Start a Facebook group for libertarians in Uganda. You already have one mentor, the gentleman who told you about libertarianism. Here is another Facebook friend for you; (https://www.facebook.com/mwesige.joram)
I know it is tough, but, you are a man now. You have to mentor yourself, but remember to be kind to the child inside you.
