FIVE LAWS OF LIBERTY Why is it important to have a proper understanding of freedom?  According to educator and author, Scott Hyland, life and liberty thrive within the parameters of The Five Laws of Liberty:       Remember the Past     Embrace the Truth     Respect Humanity     Self-control (Restrain)     Protect and Serve others        As a nation, America proudly exhibits a heritage of placing  these laws into practice.  Unfortunately, in recent years, we have witnessed deterioration in our ability to focus upon the founding principles of our country.If this practice continues, our country will decline from democracy to anarchy, from anarchy to bondage, from bondage to tyranny, from tyranny to oppression, and from oppression to death.In order to preserve life and prevent the extinction of our nation, we must learn  to train our sights upon The Five Laws of Liberty.
