Ok, we haven’t left yet. Jr and I are waiting on the Mr….if you can believe THAT. Two females…..ready….one male….not ready. Heh.

So, I’m perusing a few blogs, and come across this:

The Privatization Myth

If you have some time, it’s well worth your while. Nick Schweitzer is mostly brilliant, even if he is a libertarian, and …..sigh….a Ron Paul supporter. 

A snippet:

It should come as no surprise that even when privatizing something, the government doesn’t actually privatize anything. Instead, it retains ultimate control over something, but allows a private entity, or non-profit organization, to administer whatever it is we’re talking about under the “proper supervision” of the government that used to do it all. It’s the ultimate compromise where nobody gets what they want, and things usually end up worse than they started. The liberal half are generally upset because government lost some of its control, and the conservative half are upset because government still has some control. In other words, if nobody is happy, then politicians think that they did something right.

Go. Read. Be enlightened.

    Why thank you… that’s a great compliment coming from a Fred Thompson supporter. ;)
