It is the prospect of genuine employment and good health: a life of choices and opportunity, free from discrimination.”

“We have the illusion of freedom only because so few ever try to exercise it. Try it sometime. Try to save your home from the highway crowd, or to work a trade without the approval of the goons, or to open a little business without a permit, or to grow a crop without a quota, or to educate your child the way you want to, or to not have a child. We all have the freedom of a balloon floating in a pin factory.”

Then, as you give full attention to your children, a conversation will begin, and you can enjoy listening to each other.”
