It's no mystery that one would choose freedom over oppression, but would they choose ostensible security over the uncertainty that freedom creates? That is part of the battle.

All National Geographic has to proffer is: "Paid Maternity Leave" in some far off paradise, while it takes a lengthy historical recollection from The Spectator to refute why it is the worst of choices. It should begin in the classroom, but the classroom is government run by mandated taxes.

Larry Thornberry's takedown of our Governor is a timely reminder of the minor injuries many Florida Republicans sustained last Election Day, as we held our noses and voted for Crist. Some of us, nearly overcome by disdain, squeezed the fleshy protuberance a little too hard, with bruises and light bleeding the result. But look, the other guy was even worse.

Sure, Crist is a shrimp in a lobster's shell. Kow-towing to the Gaia cult is quite in character for this sleek, well-groomed statist. Fortunately, he hasn't got much of a state to work with, not yet. The State of Florida remains very much a background feature of most citizens' lives. The absence of a state personal income tax is a fine thing. I, for example, interact with the State of Florida once a year when I get my license plate update stickers in the mail, and once every seven years to update my driver's license and concealed carry permit. That's it -- otherwise, I never hear from the State.
