And if you think that was a downer read this.

[Selective Fire]

I suspect your reading comprehension skills may be lacking

You're right. I only read books that have lots of pictures.

Please share your information, privately of course, with KDD. He seems particularly distraught.

[KDD]

Here's something for you.

Lotsa pictures too.

In Singapore you have Chinese Catholics, Indian Hindus, local Moslems, Protestant anglos, and a huge variety of other races and religions living together. They manage to do it without a large visible police presence.

Economic freedom, which they have a lot of in Singapore, helps people be both free and peaceful. We need to relearn this lesson and cut our fedgov at least in half.

I am no anarchist. I would gladly go back to the pre-New Deal size of fedgov.

I just have trouble when freedom is primarily defined in economic, materialistic terms.

I understand your point and I think the focus of the article is on taxation because it is not included in the freedom index. The ultimate goal is to come up with a freedom index that takes into account property rights, taxation, religion, speech, and other factors, as well.
