Here is what Newt said about “government business”:
Civilization cannot survive with twelve-year-olds having babies, fifteen-year-olds shooting one another, seventeen-year-olds dying of AIDS, and eighteen-year-olds graduating with diplomas they cannot read. - Newt Gingrich (1997)
I like that quote.
A forty-year-old having a cigarette with his coffee at Denny's, society can survive.
