When govt, and the money and its power it wields, becomes too big... - Granite Grok

When govt, and the money and its power it wields, becomes too big…

“We have always known that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. It’s worse now, because capture of government is so much more important than it once was. There was a time when there was enough freedom that it hardly mattered which brand of crooks ran government. That has not been true for a long time — not during most of your lifetimes, and for much of mine — and it will probably never be true again.”

Jerry Pournelle (military strategist, journalist, science fiction writer and a lot of other stuff)

It should be a danger, this Memorial Day, that it can be that Government can this big.  That the sacrifice of those that gave all for the freedoms we should have are being erased one law and regulation at a time. Want more Freedom?  We need less government.
