Jim Geraghty quotes
![[P]rogressives seem to think that conservatives distrust the government because of some esoteric philosophical theory, or because we had some weird dream involving Ayn Rand. In reality, it's because we've been told to trust the government before - and we've gotten burned, time and time again.

[W]hy are Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway not that far behind us, ranking in the top twelve countries for antidepressant use? Is it just the long winters? Why are their drug-related deaths booming? Isn't it possible that a generous, far-reaching welfare state depletes people's sense of drive, purpose, and self-respect, and enables them to explore chemical forms of happiness?
