Helpful government
Government from local to national is deciding what is "best" for us. California wants to put remote control thermostats in homes because the government knows best. California has decided that children cannot be home schooled unless the parent has a teaching certificate because the government knows best. Mississippi has a bill pending in the legislature that fat people (as defined by the state) cannot be served in restaurants because the government knows best. Texas tells people they cannot play eight liner machines that pay out too much because the government knows best. The United States government tells us what time it is because the government knows best.
I'm tired of the government telling me what is best. I want to return to the days when I was allowed to decide for myself what is best.

Twenty thousand soldiers for domestic defense
I saw this story on the internet and it reminded of some discussions on this forum last week. I'm not sure just how I feel about it. My Liberterian core says it's not a good idea, but I also understand that local law enforcement can be, and sometimes is, overwhelmed. 2 comments from 2 users

John, I think the incidents you mention happened in the El Paso area, not the Valley. Same river, about 1,000 miles upstream. The new adminstration could always use troops to disarm their own citizens. Say NO to Mr. Obama and his idea of public service and servitude. posted by

As a constitutionalist and a libertarian I say that this clearly a bad idea.
