Gee, is there really something inherently wrong with government, or
is it that the people who want to have people think that government
is bad (read: big business - so they can do what they want without
nobody "interfering") are successful in implanting their thought
system in the population, even to the point that bureaucrats are
speaking like them, too?
Instead of trying to fix the little things that don't work too
good with government, they just want to blow the whole thing away,
never-mind that it does plenty of good things, too.
Why doesn't anybody asks himself "let's *improve* government"
instead of "let's junk it"? One would ultimately think that big
business agenda's is simply and plainly anarchy (as a stepping stone
to feudalism, that is, they, the lords, rule the life of their serfs
- and, think about it, aren't you a serf of the bank, with your
mortgage and credit card payments?).

The "Moral Majority" (so called) is a deadly enemy to science and to free
thought. I think that, at the moment, they are more powerful and more
dangerous than people calling themselves Nazis. ---- Isaac Asimov, 1981
