“That government is best which governs the least, so taught the courageous founders of this nation. This simple declaration is diametrically opposed to the all too common philosophy that the government should protect and support one from the cradle to the grave.

“The time comes to every dog when it ceases to care for people merely for biscuits or bones, or even for caresses, and walks out of doors.
