"Americans today are also able to see the perpetual series of crises that now besiege their lives, not just in the drug war but also Social Security, Medicare, the dollar, the national debt, the war on terrorism, foreign policy, and elsewhere.

A growing number of Americans are now starting to recognize the common denominator of all these crises — statism — or socialism, paternalism, interventionism, and imperialism."
