Therefore, the larger the Government, the more likely -- some would say inevitable -- it is that that Government will eventually develop along lines that serve IT, not the people. And that is the Government we have today. It exists for ITS ends, not ours. It serves only itself, not its citizens. And it is our master, not our servant.
The only way to stop that is to go to war with that Government, to consider it as much an enemy as an invading army. For invader it is. Although it doesn't invade our borders, being within them already, it invades our homes, our lives, and our futures.
So we take the war to Government. Not violently; our weapons are not guns and explosives! But in the form of protest, vote, and vigilance. Most of all, we refuse to endorse a government that embodies all those things we protest, even if they benefit us. One thing we cannot be is complicit in our own demise. We cannot sustain the Parliament of Whores.
It is because of the nature of man that our Constitution set forth a system of laws limiting the power of government to rule over We the People. So, abuse of power is common to government. It is the one common denominator between all governments.
Paternalism is just an excuse for government abuse of power. In Cuba, it is for the good of the state, or "equality". In England, abuse of power is rising as government spies on every citizen, for peace and security.
One universal rule applies to all governments: They all endlessly seek more power until they have full control over every citizen.
