Government for Grown-ups

I usually don't read letters to the editor because they are mostly emotional outbursts that are subject to the bias of the editorial staff. Case in point, the following is a To The Point entry from this morning's DP.

With both Bush and Kerry pursuing the whiny, spoon-banging, 2-year-old vote, I'll be voting for Michael Badnarik, Libertarian, for president.

Government for grownups, what a concept!

David Aitken, Denver

Actually David, I can't think of a less grown-up thing to do. You should just vote for John Kerry. While your idealism is to be applauded, this is a world in which grown-ups need to make real decisions. Your wish for government is the equivalent of a second-grader wishing to live at Disney Land. It's only a fantasy.

Check out Hugh Hewitt's new book, Chapter 12, p.71:

There are only two real choices in America - Republican or Democrat. To demand more is to be disappointed before you begin, and to hand victory to the set of choices most repellent to you.

P.S. - I know it is late for a book plug, but it was particularly relevant, and I'm trying to sustain the momentum of the book sales.
