What does the future look like if the heads of society ask our young people to risk their lives for questionable causes? I think it looks rather bleak.
Ideas govern the world, or throw it into chaos.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
I think we need to think beyond the issue of absolute risk.
No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
That's what we do in this country. That's the American Dream. That's freedom, and I'll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners.
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

The more you keep costs down, the more freedom you have creatively.
