Maybe someone can help me with this. I'm not a graphic designer nor am I a particularly good artist, but I was hoping someone could help me with a better expression. I originally picked "I'd rather be free than prosperous," but the two are not mutually exclusive. I also considered "I'd rather be free than a vassal," but that doesn't quite make the point. Then again, maybe "I'd rather be free" is good enough. Either way, any input would be much appreciated.

Again, since I can't draw, I'll describe what I would if I could:
A big, junkie car a la The Beverly Hillbillies driving on a smooth, paved road.
The car is headed toward a brick wall with "Socialism" and "Serfdom" spray painted across it.
In the driver's seat, people from my generation.
Behind them, our parents.
Our children, instead of riding safely buckled in the back row, are strapped to the bumper.

I can't draw so much as a smilie face. If I was gifted artistically, I would craft the following political cartoon:
On the left, a ski jump marked "The Slippery Slope to Socialism"
In the center, Uncle Sam awkwardly & clumsily launching off the end.
On the right, all the other crashed and failed socialist countries.

Here's the text of an email I sent to Don and Roma, hosts of the morning show on WLS 890AM in Chicago. I was particularly disappointed because Don is normally an advocate of free-market economics, but this morning he could not suppress his glee as we shift into high gear on the road to serfdom.
"I have to say I am disappointed with the cheerleading you engaged in when the Fed cut rates & the futures temporarily reversed. I am further disappointed in how you allowed Diane Swonk to distort Hoover's response to the depression and the causes of its severity and duration. While it's nice that you were able to find 1 economist to fawn over Bernanke and Paulson, perhaps you should have interviewed some of the others that predicted the current crisis and who decry any further intervention of the Fed and government.
If anything, the rate cut and the resulting turmoil should just serve as proof that further intervention is unhelpful, is in fact detrimental, and will only serve to deepen our problems and delay and prolong any recovery.
Perhaps you could have another pep rally when they announce the replacement of the Federal Reserve System with the International Reserve System. Of course, it too will have directors that are neither elected nor accountable.
I'm still a big fan and will continue to listen every day, but in the future perhaps you could be a little more skeptical of your guests, which Don is wont to do. And yes, I'm a Ron Paul supporter."
