I like the analogy Reagan made that it is not against the law to be stupid. He was right, and this is as it should be. The corollary to this is that if you are stupid, you should pay the price for your actions. Our current direction seems to be make people stupid so the Government can save them from their actions. The trouble is that the more stupid people you get, the less are available to save them. Does anybody get this?

The fact is that, despite the best efforts of people like Reagan and Bob Beers, no Government is fiscally conservative. There is simply no incentive to be so. People vote for benefits beyond all else, so that is what they are promised. The system goes happily on until it blows (keep blowing up a balloon and see what happens). History then says “oh, well just another failed, oppressive Government”. It seems like we are on the express train to that end and I can guarantee you that there is no benevolent US Government to bail us out when it happens. I just think people should take a look at the obvious. We have fought wars around the world and suffered through our own bloody Civil War to defend our Constitution and the principals of freedom. I just think it would be a shame to give it all up just so some politicians can have some fun and power for awhile. But that seems to be the way the voting public wants it. Thank God I am a bit older, so I had some taste of a land where the Constitution reigns supreme. You younger people need to get a grip and take charge of your future. If you don’t someone else will, and it won’t be pretty.
