Quotes of the WEEK...

“It’s never wise to imagine that either man or technology has the upper hand in the natural world.” Pen Hadow, leader of the now farcical Catlin Arctic Ice Survey. More from WuWT, here...

"The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then get elected and prove it." P.J.O'Rourke. (Speaking in Auckland on April 30th. See http://www.cis.org.au/.)

...and I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts. Ronald Reagan 1989


The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum. Adlai Stevenson.
