“The Boston bombing provided the opportunity for the government to turn what should have been a police investigation into a military-style occupation of an American city.

“The right way is the greatest gratifier of human wishes ever come upon - when allowed to operate. It is as morally sound as the Golden Rule. It is the way of willing exchange, of common consent, of self-responsibility, of open opportunity. It respects the right of each to the product of his labor. It limits the police force to keeping the peace. It is the way of the free market, private property, limited government. On its banner is emblazoned Individual Liberty.” WayHumansSelfGovernmentOpportunityIndividualForceWishSoundCommonResponsibilityLibertyWillingProductsLimitsLaborPolicePropertyGoldenConsentRight WayFree MarketPrivate PropertyLimited GovernmentGolden RuleBannerIndividual LibertyPolice ForceSelf Responsibility Author:Leonard Read
“Liberalism had come to mean spending more on everything-speech police, failed poverty programs that reward dependence, a bigger nanny state telling us we cannot eat fatty foods, workplace roles that stifle opportunity, and absurd environmental regulations.” MeanStatesOpportunityPovertyRolesSpeechProgramBiggerPoliceRewardsEnvironmentalSpendingAbsurdLiberalismRegulationDependenceWorkplaceNanniesFatty Author:John Stossel
“One of the things the police officers told us in the first minutes of being with them is that the way that they cope with their job is by using a lot of inappropriate humour. It's really a lovely opportunity to try to challenge our ideas of what it is to deal with complex issues, and that they're not always dower. Having that kind of humour along with the pathos for what people are going through is a really nice challenge.” PeopleWayTryingFirstsKindIdeasJobsOpportunityChallengesDealsIssuesNiceMinutesHumourPoliceComplexesLovelyOfficersReally NicePolice OfficerInappropriatePathos Author:Kristin Lehman

“I made this bad joke on Twitter saying, "I want to put in my first no-bid contract to train the Libyan army and police force." These counter-insurgency guys like to say, "We don't do the big F-16 or big boondoggle projects, we're not pulling this stuff because it's good business." But in fact it turns out there are tons of business opportunities involving counter-insurgency operations - and it's not like we're getting rid of the boondoggle programs either, we're just doing more of everything.” GuyOpportunityJokesProgramArmyPoliceTrainGood Business Author:Michael Hastings
“I just think what we ought to do is we ought to stop seizing one moments of tragedy. We ought to assure the public that we'll have a full and complete and transparent investigation whenever there's a loss of life because of police action.
