Ah yes ... political correctness. I figure I don't have long to wait before I, as a right-handed white American male of European extraction, belong to the only non-special-interest group. At which point, we will constitute, by definition, the only special-interest group. Just a thought.

That is an excellent little film ... it should be shown in every school -- and then discussed. Ask anyone who has started a business, they'll tell you that for all the long hours and enforced thrift, the journey is the trip.

This is why due dilligence (on the part of the people) and small government are necessary to the liberty of the people. Otherwise, the powerful get in each other's pocket, and the people are left whatever is left over. Every power we give to government is a freedom we just lost.

They've got NASA looking at the weather, it's only a question of time before they have NSA screening blogs.

All government programs that attempt an improvement in the private business sector eventually run amok. It is some kind of physical law.
