The Place of Government »
"Government can do certain things very well, but it cannot put hope in our hearts or a sense of purpose in our lives."
I like that one. Sums it up nicely. There are undoubtedly some things that the government - any government - can do well. Very well even. But it cannot do everything. What I don't get is why people (okay, politicians) continue to insist that government can solve all problems.
Read that again. Government cannot give us hope. It cannot give us a sense of purpose. I agree with these things wholeheartedly. Government is welcome to do what they do well, but those things ought to be in the background.
