"Inflation is always and

"When government -- in
pursuit of good intentions -- tries to rearrange the economy, legislate
morality, or help special interests, the costs come in inefficiency, lack of
innovation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an
active player. In the United States, government has gone far beyond the
basics." |

"Frankly, I keep my [10

decide what to learn – in education you are told what to learn." |

"There's
a key difference between games and movies. In a game, the more attention
that's focused on the player... In a movie, you're
really watching somebody else's story..." |
