This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy.

Comments have been turned off, as the spam was getting too much to handle. Comments can be emailed to me for posting.

QotD: Civil Liberties

The government doesn't need our freedoms to keep us safer. No one — no lawyer, judge, or historian — can point to a single incident in American history where national security was impaired because someone insisted on their right to free speech or their right to privacy or their right to due process.

Andrew Napolitano, quoted by Nick Gillespie, "The Born-Again Individualist", Reason, 2005-03
