Secrecy is for losers. For people who do not know how important the information really is.

Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good.

Government cannot provide values to persons who have none, or who have lost those they had. It cannot provide inner peace. It can provide outlets for moral energies, but it cannot create those energies.

One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist...

The absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.
