Quote of the Day

"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities."

-Bill Clinton - April 19, 1994 on MTV's "enough is enough"

and yet there are plenty of people who think Slick Willy was a great President. Yeah, personal freedoms and rights are "radical"..... And the point he makes about public housing and weapon sweeps is an important one. When you're enrolled in a government entitlement program you are bound by that program. Those pesky rights and freedoms? Oh well the .Gov is doing you a favor and giving you "free" housing, so as a reward you get to forfeit your rights.
