“Much of the conflict over government stems from different ideas about what its job is — or should be. If we strip away all the nonsense and propaganda — all the excuses — there’s only one justification for government that holds water; it’s there to protect the life, liberty, and property — the fundamental human rights — of the people forced to live with it. A job it seems unwilling or unable to do. Anything else it does is a direct betrayal of this purpose.” (10/08/25)
