Are all those government workers and public servants evil?

Which post of mine did I say or insinuate that?

I don't like power vested in government or groups. I like power, Rights, and their corresponding responsibilities vested in individuals. I don't like big government and I don't like big corruption in big government. I obviously have a different philosophy about concepts like government, compelled performance, force, Rights, etc. than you do. That is okay. Yours is more mainstream -- mine is more extreme. Yours is more what IS -- mine is more what, I believe, the Constitution intended.

Catpuppy, my opinions are not uninformed. I have thought long and hard about what kind of world I would like to live in and leave behind for my loved ones. My opinions are based on my life's experiences, as I'm sure yours are. We just do not happen to share the same world viewpoint. Please don't feel threatened or put-off in any way by my posts. I am not trying to change your mind or convince you of anything.

I am not, Bill. I share your view that government can be problematic. It needs watching. We all understand that, even those who serve in government. But when you and others find sinister "big government" tyranny hiding behind every bush (no pun intended), I can't help but think of the brick throwing anarchists who parade around in their "Save the Turtle Suits," with their "No More Logging" hats and their "Stop GMO" banners and their "End World Poverty" chants. They have no solutions, they have no focus, they just find problems--most of which are imaginary--and blame somebody else.
