Thought Provoking

Here are some articles that I think we would all profit from chewing on:

Matt Kaufman over at Boundless has some good thoughts on how we view government and government service (not your standard ideology piece).

Newsweek's Anna Quindlen discusses the role of writing (and education) in our society.

Finally, another Newsweek columnist, Robert Samuelson offers a criticism of namby, pamby, wamby public policy and how Congress needs to start thinking big, rather than symbolic (he also gives one of the shortest, and most effective indictments against the minimum wage).

Enjoy....
