| 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.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
