God has implanted in mankind also all that is necessary to enable it to accomplish its destinies…Away, then, with quacks and organizers! … Away with their artificial methods! Away with their social laboratories, their governmental whims, their centralization, their tariffs, their universities, their State religion, their inflationary or monopolizing banks, their limitations, their restrictions, their moralizations, and their equalization by taxation!…let them end where they ought to have begun–reject all systems, and try liberty–liberty, which is an act of faith in God and in His work.
–Frederic Bastiat
Notable Quote: Frederic Bastiat on Liberty
I’m a software guy with a penchant for football, hockey, music, current events and politics — mostly current events and politics. Having driven several conversations to silence while discussing the latter items, it has been intimated that I should blog about it; to purge it from my system so that we may return to enjoying social events and cocktail parties. Kind of like drawing venom from a snakebite so that the body may return to health. The body, in this clumsy metaphor, is the social life of my wife:0) So, game on! I’ve got opinions and I hope to persuade and look forward, in return, to be persuaded.
