there are all sorts of privatized "easter eggs" that are going to open in the near future.

I hope you are right, but History shows that governments VERY rarely let go of our hard earned tax dollars. It is rarer still to see government parasites (opps, employees) let go. I pray you are correct, but I feel Bush is going against very strong forces within our government. The very weak Rep leadership in Congress will be of little benefit. 95% of Congress doesn't have anywhere near the belief in Liberty as does Bush. I told my nephew 10yr ago that you hardly hear Presidents use the term Liberty. He is excited every time he hears Bush mention it. I pray to God Almighty that Bush can succeed in reducing government in our lives.

As William Wallace said, Liberty is the best of all things!

It is a SLOW process. You are right about the tendencies of government to grab power---this, believe it or not, characterized JEFFERSON'S administration, where government spending shot up, and JACKSON'S, where executive abuse of power reached unprecedented levels. Nevertheless, there is some research out there showing that in the U.S., at least, the government's share of wealth has not only peaked, but fallen a tiny bit in the last 20 years; and looking at the spread of "concealed carry" laws, we are retaking the 2nd Amend.

The key LIBERTY issue of the 21st century will be defeating the tort lawyers/trial lawyers, who are the single biggest force in growing government right now. I think there is a way to do this, but I can't find a genius lawyer to try my strategy.
