No, I did not forget the sarc tag, there didn't need to be one.

And, while people revere our founding fathers, they too were in government. And while they sought to minimize government, there was still government.

And its wrong to assume all hell would break loose simply because there will be more minorities in government. If anything, it would provide more checks and balance in the balance of power in the system. And it won't turn into a Bosnia.

Personally, I believe tension between the races have gotten better through the years. The US, in my opinion, is better than it ever was in racial tension. And that is because more minorities are in positions of power. Sure, there are flare ups like this Zimmerman case. But I believe, the answer is two pronged. One, as the previous poster put it, to reduce the "gangta's", but also, to put people who are civic minded into positions of power. The funny thing, no one is stopping them (minorities). But rather, more minorities need to get into police work, legal work, and the political arena.

The state is more powerful in many European countries as well. So, I don't believe, the state is somehow inherently evil. As I said earlier, the founding fathers were part of the federal government as well.

I would disagree. Since Obama was elected they are as bad as I have ever seen them.
