I propose that those of us who are sympathetic to much of what I have been

writing, should band together and form an International Wisdom Society: The Sons of

Liberty. The primary purpose of the Sons of Liberty is to ensure that a liberal, Liberty

based society is present throughout the world. In achieving this goal of Liberty, all Sons

of Liberty should be dedicated to two purposes: The Liberal Scale of Values and the

Ethical Matrix.

The Liberal Scale of Values represents a morality based upon Liberty and the 4

Liberty based values of:

1. Individual Autonomy

2. Individual Rational Self Interest

3. Individual Self Actualization (actualizing one’s meaningful projects)

4. Individual Self Transcendence (compassion for oneself and others)

The Ethical Matrix requires that one who is a Son of Liberty make his or her

ethical decisions on the Natural Law Ethical Principles of: Reciprocity (treat another as

you would wish to be treated in similar circumstances, Utility (Maximization of Value

based on the Liberal Scale of Values stated above), Proportionality (law and equality are

based on the idea of proportionality with proportionality symbolized by an equilateral

triangle divided down the center forming two smaller right triangles which mirror each

other), and Equity (equity favors the one in need, equity favors the one with the greatest

need, equity says that for each Son of Liberty, to each according to one’s need, from each

according to one’s ability).

The Sons of Liberty support Social Responsibility of Business where

business decisions are made using the Ethical Matrix. The Sons of Liberty support a

Constitutional Democracy with a legislative, judicial, and executive branches of

government. The Sons of Liberty support the judicial review of all legislative and

executive branch actions using the Constitution, requiring all law to be reasonable.

Finally, the Sons of Liberty should support the use and teaching of Metaphysics.

Neothomism, as a basis for Liberty should be taught in grade school through graduate

school. Natural Law, based on Classical Philosophy, is the basis for Natural Rights and

Liberty.
