Relfection on Purpose

"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. "

Old Fashioned Stuff

We all love the nostalgia that having old fashioned stuff in our yards and homes gives us. Few people really use hand pumps or Mar 03 OldFashionediron spoke wheels for anything but decoration, but that is a useful purpose too.

Nostalgia has no place in how the government spends our money though. This isn’t the dustbowl days or the great depression. We are in a global, modern economy that is based on free enterprise and capitalism. All the government spending can’t resolve the issues.
