the goverment knows who you are and your on "THE LIST"

How is a small government supposed to exercise its order to "bind down" if those who practice "mischief" out-number it?

 

Again, I'm of the humble opinion that libertarianism is only effective when the people being governed are of high moral fiber. Larger government is the response of good people to abusers of mankind.

 

This is what I'd like to see: greater states' rights and smaller federal agencies. That way the country might be better able to see which states have the blessings of God upon them for what they condone or don't condone in human behavior. Not that it will make the overall laodocean system any better - it's doomed to fail anyway because of the general tendency toward apathy - but at least the godly would be more encouraged to hold the line against sin. I fear that the muzzling of our churches is pushing us in the opposite direction, however.

 

But that's just my muddled head thinking out loud. I don't have much knowledge of how these things work in government - well, I may have learned a thing or two in college, but I've already forgotten most of it. Like most people, I'm only involved in the things that directly concern me...which is why democracies (even though ours started as a "republic") have categorically only lasted 200 years or so.

 

This was a pretty good article that you might find interesting, CA:
