"New Orleans has provided a corrosive lesson about government. At all levels, government is overbearing and nagging, paying for people’s prescription drugs and telling us whether we can smoke in restaurants or not.

There is more wisdom packed in those three short sentences than I've seen in quite some time. It also sums up very well why I lean so heavily toward the Libertarian party. (Can't join - there are a couple fundamental issues that are definite "show-stoppers" for me.)
Actually, it sort of paraphrases the apostle Paul - "That which government should not do, it does; that which it should do, it does not."
