you will [...] go on to vote in the same repdem crooks
Yeah, right. Try actually reading what I wrote.
I just proved you so very wrong
You wish.

When all you ever care to be able to see are «evil A» and «evil B», it does get hard to fathom, yes, when someone says «look; those both suck. Let's try something other than simply choosing one of them.»

Small for the sake of small is bad for the reasons I just explained; big for the sake of big will be overly bureaucratic to the point of punishing innovation for non-conformity.

My model does not call for «bigger» or «smaller», but «smarter». Do some smart things (for a change), and the end result will be a none-too-big government.


However, the part where things have to be done smart, are also the reason I'm not exactly holding my breath waiting for anyone to ever actually do this. People with vested interests have a nasty tendency to ride those interests down in flames...
