Thomas A. Garrett: “I think that Mr. Knake nailed it when he talked about the tragedy of the commons.”

I will consider myself a historian and some lessons are written large on the pages of history, if we are only willing to listen.

We have an ability--and a responsibility... to be a check on executive power by virtue of speaking when we are in disagreement.

The Voice of America, when properly levied, has been instrumental to the freedom of literally hundreds of millions of people and that shouldn't be underestimated.

I wish we could do more--the sense of Congress regarding a tragedy that's literally impacted millions is the right thing to do.
