"Quote" of the Day


SPUD NOTES: In his letter-to-the-editor Ken Boehme of Boise is awarded the "Quote" of the Day award. If Ken happens to get wind of this award (reads it or someone tells him he is a winner) Liberty Spuds will send him a free copy of "The Proper Role of Governenment" by Ezra Taft Benson.

If you would like to read Benson's timeless essay it is posted on-line at: www.properroleofgovt.org.

(If you don't believe that, try sending a bucket of dirt from your back yard to the tax collector). -- Ken Boehme (8/7/05)
