Two top problems in America:
1) entrenched bureaucrats
2) entrenched academians
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
As I sit here at the restaurant at the end of the universe, I am having O'Rourke appetizers.
A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.
The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop.
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else. This is the idea behind foreign policy.
There's something about Marxism that brings out warts; the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.
You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.
When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.
Feeling good about government is like looking on the bright side of any catastrophe. When you quit looking on the bright side, the catastrophe is still there.

(And in many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, it has long surplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older and more pedestrian work in two important respects. First, it is slightly cheaper, and secondly it has the words Don't Panic printed in large friendly letters on its cover.)
