From Reason.TV:
It’s worth thinking about as statists strive to destroy innovation in medicine (via Obamacare) and industry and transportation (via environmentalism). If it gratifies you to weep about how bad things are, compare the America of your youth to the police states of Communist Europe in that same epoch. Whatever complaints you might have with liberty, things could be — and will be — a lot worse when you have unleashed the leviathan state on every aspect of your life.
Thomas Johnson says:
My troops and I spent some time staring down those police states in my youth. People would risk death and imprisonment of their families to breathe free air.
I fear that is where the statists in Washington want to take us.

Except there won’t be any place to run to to breathe free air. I fear we are witnessing the final battle of East versus West — and the West is all but without allies.

Def. something to be thinking about. But I still want to believe that I live in the best country and have the best life!
