The More Powerful Government Becomes, The More

Democracy Is Not Freedom. Democracy Is Two Wolves And A Lamb Voting On What To Eat For Lunch. Freedom Comes From The Recognition Of Certain Rights Which May Not Be Taken, Not Even By A 99% Vote. Those Rights Are Spelled Out In The Bill Of Rights And In Our California Constitution. Voters And Politicians Alike Would Do Well To Take A Look At The Rights We Each Hold, Which Must Never Be Chipped Away By The Whim Of The Majority.

Well, One Of The First Things Is To Restore The Rule Of Law, To Place The Government Back Under The Cage Of Law. Another Thing Is To Stop Falling For The Myth Of Democracy.

The More Expansive Government Is, The More Perils People Face In Daily Lives, Be It From Irs Agents Or From Child Support Services, Or From Other Agencies That Often Have Little Or No Legal Restraints On Their Power.

As Long As Enough People Can Be Frightened, Then All People Can Be Ruled. That Is How It Works In A Democratic System And Mass Fear Becomes The Ticket To Destroy Rights Across The Board.

Governments And Citizens Blend Together Only In The Imaginations Of Political Theorists. Government Is, And Always Will Be, An Alien Power Over Private Citizens. There Is No Magic In A Ballot Box That Makes Government Any Less Coercive.
