Wise words from John Stossel

A quote from page 80 of John Stossel's book, "Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity:"

"Smokey the Bear's rules for fire safety should apply to government: Keep it small, keep it in a confined area and keep an eye on it."

I couldn't agree more.

Government is good?

Yesterday I turned 37. My loving parents (thanks mom and dad!) sent me an amazon gift card for getting older. I immediately went to amazon.com to start looking for some birthday booty. And I came across this:

Government is Good - An Unapologetic Defense of a Vital Institution

I have yet to read through a lot of it however there are some things that make my hair stand on end such as the sections entitled: Taxes are Good, The Case FOR Bureaucracy and Why We Need More Government.

This will obviously require a much more in-depth read on my part.

More later......
