A Culture Without Property, Or In Which

There Are A Lot Of People Who Say We Need To Cut The Amount Of Money That's Spent In Politics. I'm Not Sure That I Agree.

It Might Be Crazy To Expect A High Government Official To Speak The Truth. It Might Be Crazy To Believe That Government Policy Will Be Something More Than The Handmaiden Of The Most Powerful Interests.

As More And More Citizens Express What They Think, And Defend It In Writing, That Will Change The Way People Understand Public Issues. It Is Easy To Be Wrong And Misguided In Your Head. It Is Harder When The Product Of Your Mind Can Be Criticized By Others. Of Course, It Is A Rare Human Who Admits That He Has Been Persuaded That He Is Wrong. But It Is Even Rarer For A Human To Ignore When He Has Been Proven Wrong. The Writing Of Ideas, Arguments, And Criticism Improves Democracy.

My Claim Is That We Should Focus On The Values Of Liberty... If There Is Not Government To Insist On Those Values, Then Who? ... The Single Unifying Force Should Be That We Govern Ourselves.
