"The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people.’’
Bill Clinton
Heck, I’ve been blaming the elected officials for everything. They make the policy, they fund it, they’re accountable. Yet, they sit on their hands.
The prevailing issue is representation. Blowing steam at the agencies does nothing more than make vapor while Congress sits by and observes if it cares to.
They are the downfall of this country. Just call yourselves closet liberals, for pete's sake.
“Yes, You Have Something to Fear, Even if You’re a Law-Abiding Person”
If you don’t believe it, just ask Mr. Zimmerman.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
