“If it matters, measure it” is the motto of theFraser Institute, the leading Canadian think tank, where I have been a trustee since 1991. More than a motto, the focus on measurement permeates and guides all the work of the institute. As few things matter more than freedom, it is only fitting that Fraser has embarked in its most ambitious methodological effort: measuring human freedom.

need to take a look around.. getting taxed with out having any say.. have to pay for others.. without being asked,, or allowed to vote.. laws being crammed down our throats,, stupid law suits,, mismanagement of funds LOCAL. STATE. Not to mention the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,, AND A RUN AWAY PRESIDENT THAT SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR HIS POOR LEADERSHIP!

SO take a look at the bill of rights.. they are fast disappearing!
