It is time for Americans to reassert their individual sovereignty. It is time to revive civil society. And it is time to reign in government. To bring about these important changes, we can draw inspiration from an old idea put forth by Jefferson and apply it more broadly than he did. Let's work toward extending the wall of separation between church and state to include a wall of separation between civil society and state.
Civil society includes the entire scope of voluntary activities among individuals and groups.
Economic transactions, social engagements and, of course, religious activities all fall under civil society. If an individual doesn't like a particular business, church, or other organization within civil society, he is perfectly free to avoid dealing with it. The state, on the other hand, is that institution which has a monopoly on the use of force. Every law and every government program are backed up by the barrel of a gun. If a citizen opposes a particular government program or believes a law to be unjust, he is not free to exercise his own discretion.
