FR is a political forum and I find it sad that politics is turned into the be all and end all. Ultimitely what the government does or does not do doesn't make you unfree, it's how you think and act and conduct yourself. Even if the government were abolished we would still be subserviant to the laws of gravity, thermodynamics etc. There is an attitude here amoungst people that all we need to do is reduce government and the world will become some sort of Nirvana. It will not.
