A Word to the Unwise
by L. Neil Smith

***Begin Quote***

First, we are not the cops of the world. Every time we try to be, young Americans die by the thousands, instead of living to discover a cure for cancer or a matter-antimatter drive—or simply getting married and raising children and grandchildren in peace, freedom, and prosperity.

***End Quote***

L. Neil Smith, in addition to being a great writer, is a pithy libertarian commentator.

His ten points are well taken.

But, there is zero chance that either “major” party will listen. Our only hope is that the people will throw them both out.

***Begin Quote***

***End Quote***
