The Limited Mugger

Writes David Bardallis:

Charley Reese often says things that need saying, but when I read a sentence like this:

“True conservatives have argued for years that government, even a benign one, is like a clumsy, retarded giant, and therefore you have to be careful to limit what tasks you assign it.”

…my reaction is “Who would assign ANY tasks to a ‘clumsy, retarded giant’?” I have LRC to thank for that reaction, of course, or else I might still be spouting such illogic about government today.
