No, but it only works with responsible people.

Which is exactly where we need to get back to, i.e., people being responsible for themselves. We've seen over and over that gubmint simply cannot be all things to all people and it does this at great expense to the producers in our society. The State, Federal and local response to hurricane Katrina is the most recent example.

I thought it was only the liberals who mistrusted the people.

"The American heritage was one of individual liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from government. Unfortunately, that heritage has been lost. Americans no longer have the freedom to direct their own lives. Today, it is the government that is "free” free to do whatever it wants. There is no subject, no issue, no matter that is not subject to legislation."...Harry Browne
