I’m sorry, but to the person who said “When has the Government been on the people’s side?” Uh, did you drive on a road today? Use the Internet? Turn on the power? Not perish in a plane collision above O’Hare? Not die eating tainted horsemeat in your burger? Not get measles, mumps or rubella and get dead/sterile? Had a building NOT fall on you due to a minor concern?
THEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE GOOD THINGS FOR YOU, you myopic Libertarian. THE GOVERNMENT DOES GOOD THINGS FOR YOU ALL THE TIME. It’s called ‘Civilization.’ It may not work, or work exactly as you want it to (hence the ‘more perfect’ in the Constitution), but, Christ, am I tired of amateur Libertarians saying the Government does noting and Information wants to be free – both are wrong as hell and dumb as wood, as Ideas go. (Note: I am not calling Libertarians stupid. But I am calling their philosophy and its modern, anti-gumming expression stupid as hell.)
Anyhoo.
