This is exactly why we should not allow the inmates to run the asylum.

The true political spectrum runs from total control - a dictatorship like North Korea, on the extreme left to total anarchy - no government at all, on the extreme right.

I think the founders of the United States got the balance just right. Unfortunately, the central government has grown out of all proportion, moved steadily to the left and assumed powers never intended or foreseen.
