A truck driver

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel: "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said: "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

 Today, Congress has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

 I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc....

I called a Suicide Hotline.
I had to press 1 for English.
I was connected to a call center in Pakistan; I told them I was suicidal.
They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck….

Lainsäädännössä usein esiintyvä ajatus, jonka mukaan on olemassa vain yksi oikea elämisen tapa, on hyvin etäinen liberalismille, koska se sallii viisaiden pakottaa kypsymättömät, oppimattomat ja lyhytnäköiset ihmiset omaksumaan sen heidän oman vapautensa nimessä.
