The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it.

In almost all matters, the real question should be: why are we letting government handle this?

From the cranberry cancer scare of the 1950s to the Alar-in-apples hysteria of the 1980s, from the "new ice age" of the 1960s to the "global warming" of the 1990s, environmental alarms almost always turn out to be false. Few non-political scientists fear ozone loss, global warming, or acid rain. These are just issues that some people hope to use to reorder the lives of the rest of us.

If a law could keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be virtually no gun crime at all.

Not only can no one predict the future, we don't understand the present - and there isn't even any certainty about the past.

The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, "See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk".

Whatever the issue, let freedom offer us a hundred choices, instead of having government force one answer on everyone.
