Hillary: ‘Government Cannot and Should Not Control Any Individual's Life’ By Pete Winn May 16, 2012

“(T)o make the case for civil society is really quite simple because government cannot and should not control any individual’s life – tell you what to do, what not to do,” Clinton said, taking part in a “Global Dialogue of Civil Society.”
Clinton said that any “sustainable society” must have three “legs” to stand on: an accountable government, a free-market economy, and civil society.
“The economy has to be in the hands of those who are the entrepreneurs and creative innovators,” she said. “But it is in civil society where we live our lives.

And so, as we see the explosion of civil society groups around the world, we want to support you.”
Civil Society is a buzzword for U.S. efforts to bring “social change” and “democracy” to countries of the world by working with “civil society activists” around the world.

“I started my career working in civil society,” she said.

If this surprises you, raise your hand.
Everything else should be under government control, especially their earnings and property.

Unless, of course, the individual lives are unwanted. Then it is dandy to kill them with tax dollars.

How can people look you straight in the face and tell you a lie—when they know, that you know, that it’s a lie.
