When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

We have to go green! We have to see $7 gas. We HAVE to tax the snot out companies that contribute to global warming by pouring CO2 into the air.
Why? “‘Cause it’s the hottest ever.”
Some time ago I was listening to Brad and Britt. They were debating the health care bill [i think?] and one of the points a caller made was that government is unable to do anything well. Personally I subscribe to this theory and I think it is an excellent point in trying to defeat the current form of health care legislation. That being said, Britt tried to defend the government by claiming that the government is able to run parks well; State and National.

EGELSTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — An anonymous buyer has purchased a western Michigan pedestrian bridge for $1.
But why would the government sell a perfectly good bridge for a buck?
Egelston Township used the bridge to give students safe passage to an elementary school. The school no longer is used for elementary students.
…
Egelston Township Supervisor Mike Thompson … was worried about the safety of the seldom-used, 39-year-old structure.
Can you imagine how much it would cost the township to think about, debate, vote, put to bid and then PAY union workers to tear down that bridge? Hell, itta be 10 years before that sucker finally came down; due to torrential rain or some other such nonsense.
Government should guide, market should do!
