All too often, government's response to social breakdown has been a classic case of 'patching' - a case of handing money out, containing problems and limiting the damage but, in doing so, supporting - even reinforcing - dysfunctional behaviour.

I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.

Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?

People in government and public life are being kicked around at a high rate of speed.

When people don't understand that the government doesn't have their interests in mind, they're more susceptible to go to war.
