Morality can only be found where government sticks to protecting the rights of individuals, and not assuming the responsibilities of those individuals, that is, the classical liberal society, or what I want, the constitutional libertarian minarchy.Mark Hubbardhttp://www.solopassion.com/blog/966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-42514816181150340612012-02-18T12:46:52.041+13:002012-02-18T12:46:52.041+13:00We do not live in a great country.

The more you give the more shall be expected.<br />Their report remains the same every year and is somewhat disappointing in continuing to lay blame. <br />I know we live in an "All Black" country which is personified in our continual negative thinking. I would hope year by year that something positive can come out but no - purely negative as that appears to be what the media and others sell.<br />Go the Sallies - you are doing a wonderful job.
