ORIGINAL: Desertlakesflying The government is not the answer in any case except what the government is granted in the Constitution. Actually, our Constitution charges the government with protecting its citizens. quote:
ORIGINAL: Desertlakesflying The government is already far to involved with every aspect of our lives, and need to get out of most of it. In a fantasy world where every person on the planet is respectful, fair, and considerate of everyone else, we wouldn't need a single law. However, in reality, it seems that damn near everyone is constantly trying to steal, rob, shaft, burn, coerce, manipulate, screw, injure, or kill everybody else. And those who are not doing so intentionally, are doing it through incompetance, irresponsibility, immaturity, or just a simple lack of common sense. Either way, something has to be done to try to protect society from those who would do us wrong, either intentionally or unintentionally. Hence, our ever-increasing number of laws. If you have a better way, we're all ears! Harvey They way America was supposed to be would cover all of that. Fact is, the government has caused the majority of the problems you listed by getting involved. Who needs to be competent, responsible, or mature if the government is going to bail you out if you have 15 kids by a bunch of different people? Or the government is going to swoop in and remove your children if you take the switch to them, and put you in jail for 50 years and put your kids on drugs because they are somehow scarred for life. There's a big difference than the common defense, which would include local emergency services, and an over burdening government, which are two things that are quite confused in this day and age. There's a million examples of how the government is the problem, and getting less involved will be the "better way" you're all ears for. Example: How about the Fast and Furious where government was allowing the guns to go, so they could turn around and say, "look at this, this came from a gun store in America, we need more gun laws". Is that a better way? The ever increasing number of laws are not necessary. Illegal immigration is a prime example. An example that is more recent. Arizona makes a new law because the federal government flat out refuses to enforce existing laws. There's where the problem lies....governments refusal to enforce existing laws.. Pro government people have made it harder to convict criminals and give them just punishments, do business and many other things. The statement, "Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem", is far more true today than it was when Reagan said it. More laws and government control does not fix the problem and regardless of what your side thinks........it never will.... Reading your post I don't know how we ever made it as far as we have because it has never in the history of humanity been a perfect world. The government has just come in and made the person in the wrong the victim, and it has been spearheaded by one side. What right is wrong, and what's wrong is right......and government is more responsible for that than anyone else. Why? Because according to government you have no personal responsibility, because everyone is a victim. If you want more government and more laws there are plenty of countries willing to suit your beliefs.........
