And one more snippet from that link I found interesting: JOHN LOTT HAS FEW EQUALS AS A PERCEPTIVE ANALYST of controversial public policy issues," says Nobel laureate Milton Friedman. "Controversial" is putting it mildly. The tall, gangling Lott, 42, a senior research scholar at Yale Law School, specializes in applying economic analysis to such matters as why governments provide education (indoctrination, concludes Lott); why campaign contributions are increasing (higher government spending)....etc.. Pretty much a no brainer. Increasing govt spending is the way to obtain more subservient and dependent voters. The more people sucking on the govt teat, the more addicted they become to that easy money. And that means more lobbyists trying to get their cut of the pork barrel pie. I know I'm sounding like a libertarian here, but it's more a reaction to the amount of lobbying that is going on. Regards, Ron
