What an amazing book and an amazing person: read it! Thanks to Michael McKay for giving me a copy. It's not so much that he has specific views that I agree with. The thing that strikes me is that he gets to the root of how we can control our destinies and have our own views with minimal conflict. It seems that this was one of the main purposes of our founding fathers, and probably a reason for the US's success and prosperity. It also seems that growing central government and local governments are moving farther and farther away from "live and let live" and more and more towards control. I have been amazed and dismayed by things big and little where what I can and can't do is being legislated. I recently was forced by some bizarre federal policy called an "Actual Deferral Percentage Test" which our company's plan did not pass to have some of my contributions from last year returned to me. And of course this shows up on this year's taxes. Not a big deal, but another example of the federal government unilaterally changing it's mind about MY money and MY choices.
