From Patrick Henry

Lest It Come To Dominate Our Lives And Our Interests.

More From Robert Higgs
In World War II, The Belligerents Plumbed New Depths Of Depravity:
Operation Of Mass-Destruction Death Camps, Torture Of Every Conceivable
Kind, Terror Bombing And Other Attacks Systematically Aimed At Civilian
Populations, Crowned By The Gratuitous Atomic Bombing Of Two Large,
Defenseless Cities. I Am Aware That Some People Still Defend Some Of
These Heinous Actions, But In My Mind Nothing The War Achieved Can
Justify Them.

From The First Inaugural Of Thomas Jefferson March 4, 1801
A Wise And Frugal Government.. Shall Restrain Men From Injuring One
Another, Shall Leave Them Otherwise Free To Regulate Their Own Pursuits
Of Industry And Improvement, And Shall Not Take From The Mouth Of Labor
The Bread It Has Earned. This Is The Sum Of Good Government!

From Marc Faber
One Stimulus Will Lead To The Next One, And Then More Money Printing,
And Then The Collapse. The US Government Will Go Bust, Then It Will
Go To War. Buy A Farm And A Gun.

From Jeremy Grantham
It Should Be Obvious From Simple Arithmetic That Population Growth Is

Ms Karen DeCoster on Barack Obama
Now That The Leader Of The Machine Is Half Black, Nothing Has Changed In
The Way We Need To Look At The State. He Is As Much A Part Of The
Establishment - Or More - Than Any Modern President

More From Friedrich A. Hayek
Responsibility, Not To A Superior, But To Your Own Conscience, The
Awareness Of A Duty Not Exacted By Compulsion, The Necessity To Decide
Which Of The Things You Hold Dear Are To Be Sacrificed For The Sake Of
Others, And To Bear All Of The Consequences Of Your Own Decision, Are
The Very Essence Of Any Morals Which Deserve The Name.
