Posted on March 15, 2010 | Leave a comment

Okay, so that whole Pelosi-artist-health care thing.  It’s been at me all day long.  Who in the world can claim that society must work and labor in order to provide for the life of another who chooses a profession that doesn’t provide for themselves?

Look, for a long time I was pretty much politically agnostic.  I thought I knew where I stood on some issues; abortion, capital punishment guns.  You know, the biggies.  I really didn’t care about taxation, Liberty and economic freedom.  And then it all changed.
