dry unusual wind
The wind just hindered us today, to be honest. As dry as it is, it's not unusual at all.
business cost dodge fair legitimate operating others protecting
This is the legitimate cost of operating a responsible business and protecting the taxpayers. Phelps Dodge is free-riding, and it's not fair to others who are being more responsible.
good
A show's a show, and this is for a good cause.
cancer rain loss
From the cranberry cancer scare of the 1950s to the Alar-in-apples hysteria of the 1980s, from the "new ice age" of the 1960s to the "global warming" of the 1990s, environmental alarms almost always turn out to be false. Few non-political scientists fear ozone loss, global warming, or acid rain. These are just issues that some people hope to use to reorder the lives of the rest of us.
government liberty littles
A little government involvement is just as dangerous as a lot - because the first leads inevitably to the second.

While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.
past liberty libertarian
Not only can no one predict the future, we don't understand the present - and there isn't even any certainty about the past.
country war inspiration
In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties.
government ideas people
Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world - people who will cause trouble if the government doesn't restrain them.
children simple government
Libertarians understand a very simple fact of life: Government doesn't work. It can't deliver the mail on time, it doesn't keep our cities safe, it doesn't educate our children properly.
giving-up mean community
The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices.
sorry years fingers
I'm sorry that I can't snap my fingers and undo 50 years of bad American foreign policy.
association possibility produce
Voluntary association produces the free market - where each person can choose among a multitude of possibilities.
government once-upon-a-time liberty
Once upon a time, government budgets were balanced, our money was sound, the streets were safe, and taxes imposed by all levels of government took less than 10% of our income.
