“In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson writes that individuals are endowed with unalienable rights to ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.’ There is nothing in there about state-sponsored ‘public’ service and nothing about having to listen to politicians lecture us about what we ‘must’ do to satisfy patriotic obligation. I checked. Yet, a hobbyhorse of presidential hopefuls is government service.” (07/03/08) Link: http://www.denverpost.com/harsanyi/ci_9781144 Filed under: RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
