It’s tough to depend on someone else. It’s even tougher as an independent colonist to turn over your hard-won freedom to a group of people who claim to have your best interest at heart. So, jealous of your freedom, you let them have the power to rule – in a limited manner.

“Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power.”

–Thomas Jefferson, The Kentucky Resolutions, 1799

Are you wearing red today? I have grown rather fond of my Lightning Polo.

I’ve changed my profile picture to better reflect what I look like right now. I know if it changes in the future, readers will say “huh?” so here’s what is going in the side bar:

“[I]t is more convenient to prevent the passage of a law, than to declare it void after it has passed.”

–James Madison, to Thomas Jefferson, 1787

So, the uphill battle to defund and nullify Obamacare is harder now that it’s a law, rather than keeping it from passing in the first place. Even the “representatives” on the Hill are finding out what’s in it (after the conservative blog-o-sphere has been screaming about it since it’s inception) and running away from the Affordable Care Act (that ain’t so affordable after all) as fast as their pork-laden legs will carry them.

There – that ought to be anough to give you something to talk about all weekend.
