I don't trust those who want 'government' to handle things because today it might be drugs, tomorrow tobacco, Thursday against fattening foods or fast foods, Friday could be against anyone over the age of 80, Saturday could be against all evangelicals, Sunday against all redheads, and Monday against all blue-eyed blondes, and next Tuesday they'd be against anyone making $100,000 or more or perhaps anyone with a disability.
I can hear the voices of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and many others and they all seem to be saying, "What the F____! You mean we pledged our fortunes, our lives, and our liberties for this bunch of statists. You mean we had real patriots shedding their blood for this?"
