All: Elections in Europe show a continued shift to the political right -- an encouraging result to all who seek Dynamic freedom from statist welfare programs. Europeans are beginning to feel like Pirsig when he wrote, "God, I don't want to have any more enthusiasm for big programs full of social planning for big masses of people that leave individual Quality out." In other words, the state should reject SOM "systems thinking" and instead concentrate on each individual's uniqueness, encouraging her to be all she can be. A good start would be to break up the government's monopoly on education by permitting school vouchers. Some of the reactions to Nick's ideas here show how close-minded certain contributors can be. In fact, Victorian moral certainty has nothing on today's left-wing "progressives" whose answer to every social problem is more regulations, higher taxes and bigger government along with sanctioning such biological values as anything-goes-marriages, legalized drugs and public nudity. Fortunately in Europe such slouching to Gomorrah has been temporarily abated. The benefits of socialism have been proved less than advertised, which comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with human history.
