Quite the contrary. The government doesn't take care of us. As I put it, "<i>No matter how many nations the federal government invades, no matter how many Constitutional rights are suspended, Americans will not complain because they have an SUV in the garage and a remote control in the living room</i>."<br /><br />In other words, <i>businesses</i> take care of us -- at least as far as raising our material standard of living goes. Government takes credit for the good things that businesses give us, then takes credit for preventing crimes, all the while committing more crimes than all private criminals combined. The federal government terrorizes people all around the globe, and, yes, accuses those who believe in the ideals of America's Founding Fathers of being "terrorists."<br /><br />So it seems we agree in substance (though I don't think my style is as rough as yours).

I don't tolerate my governments gross violations of my civil liberties because of "how well they take care of me", I do it because if I don't they'll march a platoon of National Guard up my ass. We are past the times where a group of people can come together and show their discontent without fear of repercussions. If we were to band together now we would be branded terrorists without due process and thrown in a prison, never seeing the light of day or a courtroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24273515.post-47529773252382397542010-11-25T19:12:20.710-06:002010-11-25T19:12:20.710-06:00Hey Anonymous, Thanks for the satire (I'm assu...Hey Anonymous, Thanks for the satire (I'm assuming).
