Jim’s Quote of the Day:

“As the state grows, one’s sense of self-ownership is destroyed, liberty is traded for “security,” the human spirit diminishes, and the citizenry increasingly thinks and behaves like dependent children.” Eric Englund, in an essay titled Income Taxes, Obesity, and Other Maladies of Nanny Statism, 2005.
