What makes a \u201cconservative\u201d or a \u201cliberal?\u201d I haven’t a clue.<\/p>\n
What I do know is that each one trusts government to solve problems \u2014 what differs is which problems they thing government should solve. While I believe government should never give tax breaks to entice a business to relocate, someone else might believe in using eminent domain to replace homes with Wal-Mart Super Centers. While I might think government should conduct or at least help coordinate scientific research, someone else might claim private industry is better suited for everything.<\/p>\n
(DARPA\u2019s little network being what we are using to exchange e-mail makes my point. And if you think industry solves everything, look at how long HDTV is taking to appear in the U.S.)<\/p>\n
Our perceptions of power and how it should be used are what is interesting. What we think is a \u201cmoral\u201d role for government varies so much that no matter who or what is in power, half the society will be disappointed and even offended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
