How is it that a government with a severely limitied ability to enforce can actually enforce? How do you avoid splintering into such small and ineffectual groups? If I should never have to spend a penny of my tax money on any program I do not agree with, how can a government be effective in curbing the abuses that it's lack of enforcement power will tend to encourage. Unfettered is a good word. Small government is weak government. Or perhaps I should say decentralized and limited government is weak government.

Now, if you would rather have a government that can never require anything of you and are willing to give up the protections that hand over of power brings, make a case for how the alternative to what we have now, your alternative, is better. But to deny that "less power" means less power is simply silly.

Tell me, could that be you?
