Quotes by Brian Phillips (?)

“In recent decades, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as arbitration and mediation, have gained popularity as efficient and inexpensive methods for resolving disputes. As the court system has become bogged down with frivolous lawsuits, ADR allows for disputes to be resolved quickly and with less cost. Many contracts now call for ADR as the means for resolving any disputes arising from the contract.”
― Brian Phillips, Individual Rights and Government Wrongs

“Without individual rights as the unifying principle of the Tea Party, the movement will simply offer re-packaged versions of the same ideas (such as “states’ rights”) advocated by the major political parties. The Founding Fathers did not respond to the abuses of King George III by proposing a variation of monarchy. They did not seek to replace one form of tyranny with another. They rejected the entire idea that anyone—the king or “the people”—should control the lives of individuals.”

“Ford dominated the automobile market, the price of a Model T decreased from $850 in 1908 to $290 in 1924.”
