Sometimes I feel a little depressed about the future of America. As I listened to the radio today, I really felt like I was in some other nation- not the America of my youth, but some bizarro land, where people who were formally free were not slaves of the government.
First I heard an interview by Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, who was excitedly talking about releasing dangerous criminals from prison in order to save money, while she busily expands the size and involvement of our government in many other areas. After this there was a news break, that talked about how the mayor of Chicago was going to forbid people from buying any more beer after football games because he thought too many people got drunk after games. That was followed by a commercial from Jeff Daniels promoting more government run wind mill monopolies. Another commercial followed that that bragged about taking Michigan into the 21st century by passing a new energy bill- an energy bill that raises taxes and fees on me.
Do we no longer have freedom of choice? Are the only actions that are done now actions to increase the size of government? Where has our liberty gone?
