The Long Night

The only safe environment for a human being is under a weak government with very restricted powers. Normal people don't need much to be happy – food, shelter, dignity and freedom from marauders. They need a rule of law that applies to everyone equally and at all times and in all circumstances. In established societies, legislators should meet rarely – perhaps once every two or three years – because a continuing cascade of new laws will eventually drown freedom.

Key quote: The Founding Fathers, whether through luck, wisdom or divine guidance, gave us an almost perfect form of government, and we've been busy ever since trying to take it apart.

Charlie Reese believes our leaders have lost their way and are off the path laid out by our Founding Fathers.
