I disagree. Man's natural state is free. God made this world for man, and made man to be free in this world.

While that has been our experience, if you take a look at the whole of human history you will see that you are incorrect. Realizing that freedom from government, tyranny, or monarchy is a relatively new state in human history, most humans have not lived in freedom such as we enjoy. I just read this recently, but the title of the book escapes me. They basically assert that only about 4.5% of humans have experienced a life of freedom.
