It is well worth reading, especially as a document authored by those
on the right of the political spectrum that is consistent with their own
stated ideology. I've found the ramblings of the pseudo-right-wing in
Canada on this issue to be entirely inconsistent, claiming that this
government granted monopoly is somehow a form of "property" that must be
thought about and enforced as if it were "property".
