Pugsley's First Law of Government: All government programs accomplish the opposite of what they are designed to achieve.

Size of industry, concentration of market, or production notwithstanding, the consumer is best served when the businessman is completely free to pursue his profit goals.

In Sherman's famous march through Georgia, his soldiers left a swath of death and destruction, destroying crops, burning homes and killing civilians. Sherman himself acknowledged that only 20% of the destruction inflicted by his invasion was inflicted on military objectives. Civilian non-combatants, essentially innocents, suffered 80% of the losses.

The consumer gets the best deal when the product is cheapest, and the product is cheapest when people can freely compete in the market place.

Only in situations where competition is illegal will competition not act naturally to bring the best product at the lowest price to the consumer.

How to obtain freedom has been, and is, mankind's most important quest.

I am unable to accept the idea that I should be an obedient subject of a gang of corrupt, unprincipled thugs who pontificate about freedom while enslaving the population.
