Quote of the Day

From Aretae, about the void at the core of the Progressive vision:

Almost everything the government does (in reality, not in a progressive fiction) benefits either large business (or their partners, the large labor unions) or else government. Because government action is force-based interaction, it tends to be zero/negative sum. And if it's pro- large business or government, one should assume that it's anti- small business or citizen.

Actually, he's simply been on fire lately:

- Government phone banks being useless to help the victims of sex trafficking, the Internet community steps up.

- What we know from experience will actually reduce health care costs, and how ObamaCare likely outlaws it.

- Musings on top-down vs. bottom-up political systems.

Really, just go read everything he's written in the last couple days. That's one smart dude.
