The Heritage Foundation offers one of those site polls designed to keep you tooling around, and this one I thought was interesting.

Do liberals exaggerate threat to civil liberties from security measures like the Terrorist Surveillance Program?
Yes. Security programs like the TSP protect the nation and keep civil liberties intact.
No. The TSP and its ilk do more harm that good and should be abolished.

Abolish a government program? Sure! So I answered no. The results appeared. I am now among the 3% of readers who worry about big government. Incredible isn't it? Must I now quote Reagan on how government is the problem?

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
