The questions seemed geared to produce logical answers that may surprise non-libertarians when they reflect on their own responses, like "Yes I agree that my taxes should not be spent for that reason. Hmm, maybe my tax money is spent for more reasons I disagree with. Maybe other people's tax money is being spent for reasons they don't like, but I do!" It's a good "starter" wedge in the big-state mindset. Oops, slight slip-up at the end: "I'm Mark Edge. This is the Keene Weekly News. Thanks for watching." What happened to Mark Edgington?
