[quote user="schlimm"]   "Every time a special interest group, i.e. high speed rail advocates, reaches  into your pocket, not to mention mine, no matter how well intentioned, it is taking away your freedom and mine to decided how to spend our money.  Sometimes taking our money as well as the money of everyone else in the country is for the public good. " Notice the subtle political theater:  "Taking away your freedom...taking our money" rather than "choosing as a society how we will spend our money for the common good."   Our government is not our enemy or problem or some abstract entity.  It is simply us and has been increasingly so since 1776. [/quote] As I have stated on several occasions, one person's common good is another person's common fallacy.  It depends on how one sees the world.  I resent the implications that I am engaging in political theater.  I have never said anything about politics in these forums, other than to note that I worked on the Obama campaign in 2008.  In North Carolina!  And I got there on my nickel.
