Paul, Do you mean your dog is better at chasing rabbits than he is at pushing the
brake pedal or better at chasing rabbits than your wife? ( Couldn't resist that one)

My dog is far more enthusiastic about helping me but having a perfect attitude can't
compensate for native ability. However, my wife cannot catch the rabbits, she can
cheer the chase on though. So, it is a two way street, attitude can't make up for
native ability. It took more than 6 hours of rabbit hunting today before a rabbit made
a fatal mistake in the chase. Mistake - don't try to make a run for it in the open. A
fast dog will have you for dinner. My dog can catch a rabbit in 150' even with the
rabbit having a 50' head start.
I have completed more than five honey-do's in as many days so I can probably get most
anything I want today. I lost some credits though, I came into the house for a beer
mid way through lawn mowing without taking off my shoes. Got busted. I changed oil in
her car and vacuumed it after mowing the lawn so I have credits for something. I am
hoping for a canoe trip at Baker Lake. She's not a strong swimmer so that is a big
concession but the water is so cold still that no one could make it far. My Labrador
Retriever can swim the whole trip and never get cold. One day, I'll land my Merlin on
that lake. Probably get busted for doing so. Good thing for 2" N numbers.

Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.
-- J.K. Galbraith
All other things being equal, a bald man cannot be elected President of the
United States.
-- Vic Gold
A public debt is a kind of anchor in the storm; but if the anchor be
too heavy for the vessel, she will be sunk by that very weight which
was intended for her preservation.
-- Colton
"The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property
is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet
there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity
and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the
rules of justice. Every shilling which they overburden the inferior
number is a shilling saved to their own pockets."
-- James Madison, Federalist No. 10
"The Modern Liberal believes in the supremacy of the state, thereby
rejecting the principles of the Declaration and the order of the civil
society, in whole or part. For the Modern Liberal, the individual's
imperfection and personal pursuits impede the objective of a utopian
state. In this, Modern Liberalism promotes what French historian Alexis
de Tocqueville described as a soft tyranny, which becomes increasingly
more oppressive, potentially leading to a hard tyranny (some form of
totalitarianism). As the word 'liberal' is, in its classical meaning,
the opposite of authoritarian, it is more accurate, therefore, to
characterize the Modern Liberal as a Statist. ... The Statist ... knows
that despite his successful usurpations, enough citizens are still
skeptical and even distrustful of politicians and government that he
cannot force his will all at once. Thus he marches in incremental
steps, adjusting his pace as circumstances dictate. Today his pace is
more rapid, for resistance has slowed. ... The Conservative does not
despise government. He despises tyranny. This is precisely why the
Conservative reveres the Constitution and insists on adherence to it.
An 'effective' government that operates outside its constitutional
limitations is a dangerous government. ... The Conservative is alarmed
by the ascent of a soft tyranny.... He knows that liberty once lost is
rarely recovered. He knows of the decline and eventual failure of past
republics. And he knows that the best prescription for addressing
society's real and perceived ailments is not to further empower an
already enormous federal government beyond its constitutional limits,
but to return to the founding principles. A free people living in a
civil society, working in self-interested cooperation, and a government
operating within the limits of its authority promote more prosperity,
opportunity, and happiness for more people than any alternative.
Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its
principles are the founding principles."
-- author and radio talk-show host Mark Levin in his book "Liberty and Tyranny"
In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from
one party of the citizens to give to the other.
-- Voltaire (1764)
