I’d like to pick up a newspaper with a headline that reads “Government Shrinks, Individual Freedom Returns to its Citizens.”
 
I’d like to return to a time similar to how it was a few years back. Conversely, I’d like to still have all the superior, expedient things we enjoy today that we didn’t have available to us back then, like computers, television, portable phones, dishwashers, electric washers and dryers, DVDs, among a lot of other things. The convenience we enjoy today is due to the creativity of the people and the capitalistic free enterprise markets. Political government does not invent these things. People living in a free society do.
 
I’d like to return to a time when we did not have the thousands of governmental agencies and departments—federal, state, county and city.
 
I’d like to return to the time when one could drive without so much interference from the Department of Motor Vehicles, and to a time when children could attend school in a safe environment and be educated, instead of indoctrinated.
 
I’d like to return to the time when income taxes didn’t have to be filed. However, since that was before my time, passed in 1913, I can dream about it.
 
I’d like to return to the time when we could walk the city streets, or in the country, or in a park, without fear of being attacked by thugs and criminals, who now a day rob and kill for pocket change.
 
I’d like to return to the time when we could trust our neighbors and society as a whole. I recall growing up in the country where we never locked our doors, when windows were left open for the breeze to flow through (hence no cost for air conditioning at night).
