Then riddle me this: if anyone in their right mind should be against big government, then why are so many people who are out of their right minds against big government?
Here is another news flash for YOU.
In a democracy (representative or direct), we ARE the government. We just have to agree enough on whatever we want and then vote people in who will effect those changes. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the electorate does not agree on much and corporate and monied interests use their power and money to make government do their bidding when possible and be dysfunctional most of the rest of the time.
"There is no power or ability that government obtains that they will not

The key word there is "eventually" and while that is a scary slogan, it is absurd and suicidal as well as completely unprovable if not completely false. If it were true, then all the nuclear powers will eventually use their arsenals against their own citizens because they obviously have that power. Duh.
