Libertarian Quote of the Day

From Freeway to Serfdom on anti-knife legislation in the UK:

So am I bringing this up because I carry a John Rambo on my hip and the proposed legislation might infringe my on my cherished liberty? Not at all. I bring this to your attention because I believe it exemplifies the state of the whole underlying culture in this country: whenever Something Bad Happens, the ingrained reaction is to reach for the nearest lever of government power and blindly start pulling. Do something, anything to assuage our concerns. [emphasis added]

The same underlying trend is in American culture, too. That's why I think that the libertarian cause is doomed in the long run. Ryan Sager has more.
