“Monarchy derives from the Greek root word ‘mono,’ meaning one, and ‘archon,’ meaning ruler. This week 249 years ago, the American colonies declared their independence from the British monarchy. They fought a seven-year revolutionary war to win it, and another three-year war in 1812 to keep it. We all continue to fight for our freedoms today – the ‘No Kings’ protests on the one hand, and the anti-COVID-19 protests on the other, are symptoms of that struggle. Today, there are at least three central ideas that control our health and health freedom. Each is a single idea that restrains our liberty of conscience, choice, and action.” (10/21/25)
