Quote for the Day
A simple proposition:
I start with the view that individual freedom is the ultimate goal for any government. The ultimate job of the state is to increase the range of options available to its citizens. To me, this is not a maxim, but an axiom that is justified by both philosophy and history. On a basic level, I believe that human beings are the best judges of what is best for themselves. I also believe that the right to make our own decisions is an intrinsically good thing. I also believe that people become better decision-makers through the course of regularly making their own decisions.
Or is it? Will Wilkinson loves it. Reihan rejoinders here. Crunchy Rod wonders if this has anything to do with conservatism.
