"The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."

-- James Madison (speech in the House of Representatives, 10 January 1794)

Liberty

It ain't easy...liberty, it is by far the most difficult of arrangements in which to live. Because it requires that we take responsibility for our own actions and trust, have faith, that others are capable of the same. This requires a degree of humility. It also demands that we be watchful of the slick tongued despots who would convince us otherwise. Can you handle it?
