DEAR EDITOR,
I fear if that government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. This is because in politics, stupidity is not a handicap. I wonder they say in politics, if you want anything said, ask a man and if you want anything done, ask a woman. That means in politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
I wonder if governments constantly choose between telling lies and fighting wars, with end result always being the same. One will always lead to the other. This is because when a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one. Another reason is because men are moved by two levers: fear and self-interest.
I wonder if most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. That mean those who suffer freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. May be because freedom is just another word for nothing left to loss.
I wonder if government’s view of the economy is summer up that way: if it move, tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subside it. I don’t know if politicians are now going to divide mankind into two classes: tools and enemies. This is because loyalty to country always. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.
I don’t know if their action expresses priorities. This is because nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, to be able to decide. May be the best way to keep one’s word is not to give. This is because you will never tell his or her enemy that they are doing the wrong thing since he who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.
By the way I am not interested in preventing the status quo, I want it to be overthrow. This is because as Thomas Jefferson stressed, the spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.
