"Sheeple prefer being led by the shepherd, don't they?"Yes.
I am not one of them.
We need leaders, and George Bush is a good one. We also need to keep them on a tight rein--even...no, especially--the best of them.
That's what I advocate: keep them on a tight rein and watch them like a hawk.
In other words: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
"We also need to keep them on a tight rein--even...no, especially--the best of them."
Impossible, as evidenced by the continual unabated growth of our federal government. We can not reign it in. It grew by seizing bits of power wherever the majority allows it. The fact is that everything that it does has majority approval. To change it would require changing the minds of the majority. To keep a tight reign on it would require oversite as large and powerful as it is.
