1. July 2018

0 Comments

"For in the absence of debate unrestricted utterance leads to the degradation of opinion.

For that reason the freedom to speak can never be maintained merely by objecting to interference with the liberty of the press, of printing, of broadcasting, of the screen. It can be maintained only by promoting debate." Walter Lippmann

Harry Browne quote about insurance and protecting against extraordinary risks

1. February 2016

0 Comments

"Insurance is meant for extraordinary circumstances. You don't use car insurance to pay for oil changes or gasoline; you have it as protection in case you have a terrible accident or your car is stolen. You don't use homeowners' insurance to pay your electricity and water bills; you have it as protection in case a fire or other catastrophic event produces a large expense. Obviously, any insurance policy that promises to cover every small, ordinary expense is going to be much more expensive than one that covers only extraordinary expenses." Harry Browne

Neither group attempts to explain why government is so clumsy and destructive in one area but a paragon of efficiency and benevolence in the other." Harry Browne
