Original Silk Road mantra

On the original Silk Road there used to be a page, possibly in the about/FAQ or something like that which outlines the reasons for the site existing but also a kind of mantra about the believes of fundamental rights of citizens which I presume DPR held as his own. Things like:

Right to freedom of expression.

Right to privacy.

Right to safety and security

Etc.... I am wondering if someone can point me to a copy of this?

I remember seeing a similar page on SR2 as well. I would dig around the old /r/silkroad thread, there may be screen captures or it may be buried somewhere in a post or wiki. I'm pretty sure Ross has published his Libertarian beliefs online too if you're looking for a more indepth read about his philosophy.

Edit: here's a tid bit I just found online which came from his LinkedIn Profile -

"The most widespread and systemic use of force is amongst institutions and governments, so this is my current point of effort. The best way to change a government is to change the minds of the governed, however. To that end, I am creating an economic simulation to give people a first-hand experience of what it would be like to live in a world without the systemic use of force."

Completely paraphrased but I'm sure the word for word is listed somewhere, and thiss was the gist.

"you may find items listed here that are outlawed in your jurisdiction. That doesn't mean Your government has a right to control their use by you. We as a community are here to fight oppression and endorse freedom of speech and free trade among consenting adults"

Ross will have plenty of time to tell his side of the story when he writes his BIO from federal prison:(
