2012 is a big year for us. 2016 may be too late.
30th Anniversary of Presidents Reagans First Inaugural, 1/20/81.
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time weve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.
