Sad, but not surprising...

The one word that I haven't heard one candidate from either dominant party utter during this campaign is "liberty". You'll hear plenty abour "security" and plenty about the "viability" of this or that program. You'll hear them talk about this or that initiative (federal law) to attempt to bring about this or that change in economic or societal circles. None of them want to talk about freedom (except as it applies to Iraqis). Liberty, it seems, is a dirty word...an anachronism to be avoided at all costs lest the speaker be viewed as "out of touch" or *gasp* extreme.

That's why, yet again, I'll be casting my vote for libertarians. At least they talk about it. I'd rather vote for someone who says the right thing but will never be elected than someone who says the wrong things and then gets the power to actually IMPLEMENT their plans.
