Rules and The Moon

To quote Professor de la Paz from Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress:”

"I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."

In "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," Professor de La Paz makes a Declaration of Independence as Jefferson did, except the Professor worked alone and doesn't share his ideas with anyone except a big supercomputer.  

At one point in the book, the Professor calls Thomas Jefferson the first rational anarchist, and earlier in the story the Professor had called himself the same thing.  

He says, "I cannot improve on [Jefferson's] phrasing; I shall merely adapt it to Luna and the twenty-first century."  

So this is I suppose part of what I want to do with this website - bring concepts of the old world as they were understood when certain ideas of natural rights were being transmuted into the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, into the new, but as we move from centralized to decentralized ways of doing things in society, and as humans move more steadily towards outer space and develop even newer forms of independence than were previously imagined, I wish to advance that notion of being free where I am responsible for what I do.   Where the rules have us shoot for the moon, subject to only such laws and limitations as might be carried along, I wish to look beyond them, being a caring pioneer as I go.
