Quote of the Week

From P.J. O'Rourke:
The free market is a bathroom scale. We may not like what we see when we step on the bathroom scale. "Jeez, 105kg!" But we can't pass a law making ourselves weigh 85kg. And socialists and fools -- to the extent that there's a difference -- think we can.

As an interesting aside tghe article mentions a quote from Regan:
"The nine most frightening words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help."'

Sounds a lot like:
My name is Kevin, I'm from Queensland and I'm here to help.
