Let's be honest: nothing spoils 'The Walking Dead' quite like watching 'The Walking Dead.'
Admittedly, I possess virtually no expertise in science. That puts me in exactly the same position as most dogmatic environmentalists who want to craft public policy around global warming fears.
I don't think that voters should be fixated on public policy. In a healthy republic, they wouldn't have to worry every waking hour about what their government is doing.
It would probably strike the average politician as absurd to argue that the best way to fix the economy is to stop trying to 'fix it.'
The Founding Fathers worried that 'some common impulse of passion' might lead many to subvert the rights of the few. It's a rational fear, one that is played out endlessly.
Health care in America, despite all you hear, still offers us citizens one of the most efficient and highest quality systems in the world. But it's expensive, and it's only getting worse.

You'll often hear the left lecture about the importance of dissent in a free society.
