I love how Republicans want to make the State small enough to fit in your bedroom.

If you want to help fighting unfair treatment of Palin in the media..sign and advertise this petition.

They are not stopping and we have to send a message. As soon as I have 1000, I will print and send this certified mail with return receipt to the CEOs of the major news channels and NYT. I want to do it by the end of the week and can do this with some help from fellow bloggers and supporters.

Did the duo later talk about the next man on the moon being Chinese?

W.K. doesn’t wake up early on Sundays. He parties. Duh! He was watching “The McLaughlin Group” b/c he was still up and totally wasted from the night before.

Comment on government is a NECESSARY evil: a call for moderate libertarianism by Larry

As usual, and as a member of the apologists for government, you miss the point.

Governments ARE evil. And they are NOT a necessary evil. It is true that “leaders” will arise among men, but it is not true that the men must submit to the predations of these leaders. While the human condition may predispose to ignorance and foolish choices, it does not MANDATE it.

You have given up on humans, and use this abandonment of hope for development and the future as a rationale for the most evil and pernicious thing ever visited on us as humans - government.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Comment on privatization, or outsourcing responsibility? by I'm Not The Only One

I think road maintenance should remain the responsibility of government because the core function of government is to protect its citizens in an emergency, and in an emergency situation, public roads are essential for allowing citizens to evacuate, to allow emergency vehicles to come to the aid of the injured or trapped or in danger.

You may choose to not use roads, as TheRadical suggested. But if you have a heart attack, are you going to call 911 for an ambulance, or are you going to walk to the hospital?

Also, TheRadical suggested that people who live in cities do not use roads. This statement is ridiculous, as city dwellers use public transportation such as buses, taxis and trains-all of which use public roads and rails to get around. The island of Manhattan is 13 miles long. If you think New Yorkers are walking from one end of Manhattan to the other to get to work every day, you are out of your mind.

I think the Silent Majority is making this a bigger deal than it is. Keep in mind that the governments mentioned in the article LEASED not sold these highways to these corporations. As mentioned, if the lease holders fail to live up to the terms of the agreement, the leased will be revoked and the company can literally lose billions of dollars.

Government loses billions of dollars every day and no one gets fired and no agencies are shut down. In fact the only change that government makes after wasting is to propose tax hikes.

I think highways, bridges and tunnels should be the only thing leased out to private companies because they are the thoroughfare least utilized by emergency vehicles and because only a minority of the general public use bridges, highways and tunnels on a frequent basis.

The overall tone of my argument is NOT “anti-privatization of public goods,” it is anti-privatization of public goods that the public “CANNOT willingly opt-out of.” As I said in the post, I believe in privatization when the two parties involved have the CHOICE whether or not to take part. When it comes to roadways, they do not have that choice.
