Comments on: Who Has the Power? http://theunbrokenwindow.com/2010/02/05/who-has-the-power/ The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. - F.A.

It is my opinion that since its inception there has been an organized and systematic assault by the conservatives in the United States (and in the other industrialized nations) on the civil liberties written into the US Constitution. The “War on Drugs”; “War on Terror”; “War on Communism” and a host of other wars waged by the right wing are really nothing more than a War on People--an excuse to erode civil rights to the point of non-existence.

His mind kept discounting everything economically, in the best sense of using the word "discounting". Thus, your comment is to the point, exactly. Personally, I'm contemplating a quest for elimininating one local official who does nothing productive and costs us more by his presence.

Personally, I’m contemplating a quest for elimininating one local official who does nothing productive and costs us more by his presence.
