[F]reedom is possible only with moral law. Free people must discipline themselves, or they will end up losing their freedom. Why? Because when people do not control themselves, they will end up having others control them. They will either end up in prison or controlled by tyrants. Just as nature abhors a vacuum, societies abhor chaos—and absence of law and order. Therefore, if individuals will not control themselves, others will. Those others will either be foreign tyrants or indigenous tyrants.
