"You get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right.  Helping poor and suffering people is compassion.  Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness.” - Penn Jillette

"The threat of... violence is used by bureaucrats and various representatives of the looter/moocher classes to extract payments, of course.  But it doesn’t matter.  Something that can’t go on forever, won’t, and current expenditures can’t go on forever, so they won’t.  If that leads to violence, then there will be violence.  But I don’t believe that violence in a broke country with limited financial options and limited political patience will receive the same payoff as violence in a rich country with lots of options and extensive patience.” - Glenn Reynolds

"Except for some entrepreneurs, mavericks and renegades, our technocratic elites are mostly a bunch of rule followers and incrementalists. They got where they are by scoring well on tests, manipulating the platitudes of conventional wisdom a little better than the next guy and by pleasing their supervisors.” - Walter Russell Mead
