QOTD, 12/31/2009

Maybe the greatest challenge now is to find a way to keep independence while also committing ourselves to the ties that bind people, families, and ultimately societies together.
Jane O'Reilly

I know nothing of Ms O'Reilly,of her actual socio-political-economic tendencies, or even whether she is still alive--but wherever she falls in the political spectrum, this seems to sum up The Issue pretty well, the problem being, that some want those "ties that bind... society together" to be a lot stronger than what others are prepared to put up with.  That, and they mistake government for society.
