"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." - Louis Brandeis

Inner City Violence...
I was going to post on Newt (and sway y'all) but I don't have time. I do find it amazing, that even extreme-right-FoxNews will grab a sentence with no context, and make it an unfavorable headline...."Gingrich: Poor Children Have No Habits of Working". I heard him say it live, and I felt that he has been listening to me in the inner cities - these kids need opportunity. There is no doubt in my mind that the Left will turn it into, "Newt needs to apologize to poor kids"...

It should be noted that they are already prepared for prison-wear

Love their quilts. Aunt Judy took me to a grocery store in PA called The Dutch. Would have liked to spend more time there.
