Liberty? The ATF will end up as the ATF&Na&SMS at this rate. Tobacco, Firearms, Sodium, Texting. What else? Christopher Hitchens was right about one thing... It is lamentable that the U.S. has stopped loving liberty.

The trick is on them. They flip-flopped (again) when the Republicans did the right thing, and proposed keeping the current rates. (Making it contingent on the pipeline was genius.)

It's tricky to walk those guns. It's tricky

Just a nit to pick... Up to 75mph? What is this, 1904?

Wendy, while I'm still forming my own opinion on the matter, your comment seems to have done more to prove Gerson's point, than to refute it.

I wish you'd try. I'm still trying to form an opinion on the subject, and if you disagree with this article, I'd like to know why. Having read the novel, and seen a few videos of Ayn Rand in her own words, I have to say that this article quite accurately summed up my impression of what she seemed to be saying. While I find a government and economic system limited to the principles she proposes to be quite desirable, I think I would not want to live in a society that followed them, if that makes sense to separate the three.
