I am not disagreeing with you here, but it might be the law.
It is just scary that people are more accepting of bigger and bigger government these days. As many folks are finding out, powerful governments are the worst thing that can happen to you... In fact, you could say more people were killed by their own government in the 20th century... Be afraid...
I am happy to have a government powerful enough to defeat some other government that wants to take mine away.
