Our liberties are safest when government is smallest.

That's a challenging statement and quite popular today.

Sounds like a story to me. How does that get to be the case? Is size the factor that causes the effect? I think you have to come up with some proof if we're to buy into that; because, it is the first statement to a logical conclusion. I'm not saying it isn't a fact; but, I am wanting to see some proof.

Governmental mischief can come about in small local governments just as easily as it can come about in some great federal government. So, I'm questioning your statement. I want to see some evidence that tells me that social medicine is not good. And, narrative comments aren't going to work. I would like to see the stats. It's obvious to me that a free dental plan that includes children in public schools would do wonders for America's health. What am I missing here? Why does egoism have such a say in our world? It's as though Ayn Rand is pulling on someone's chain. Since when did egoism get to pass for a family value? It's about as anti-Christ as anything I know about.
