John Teller: First time I read Emma Goldman wasn't in a book. I was sixteen hiking near the Nevada border. The quote was painted on a wall in red. When I saw these words it was like someone ripped them from the inside of my head.
"Anarchism stands for liberation of the human mind from the domination of religion, the liberation of the human body from the domination of property', the liberation from shackles and restraint of government. It stands for social order based on the free grouping of individuals."
The concept was pure, simple, true.It inspired me, lit a rebellious fire.
But ultimately I learned the lessons Goldman, Prudot and the others learned; that true freedom requires sacrifice and pain.
Most human beings only think they want freedom.
In truth, they yearn for the bondage of social order, rigid laws, materialism.
The only freedom man really wants is the freedom to be comfortable
Sons Of Anarchy is a tv series not like any tv series we've seen before.
They are not just outlaws... they believe in something.
They give up the safety society provides in the pursuit of freedom.
Along the way it comes love, faith, family, friendship, truth, dignity.
