    panacea, when you say that the government shouldn't dominate everyone's life from cradle to grave, i agree.

    but what i don't see is how you think that the american government is doing that at all. i mean usually things that would terrify those who claim they are for lesser government would be the staggering police response to the occupy movement, the wars that gw started, and spending more on military than the other top 10 spenders in the world combined.

    what's more, is that while government unregulated and unchecked is a terrible beast, so is capitalism. these are all institutions and systems globbing for power and control - the veil of giving a shit about anyone is neither a democratic nor republican stance. it's just what people in control talk about.

    so, as disappointed as i've been with obama, do you really think that the us government is telling people what to do too much? i think that they overstepped their boundaries long ago with the patriot act and the executive branch's oversight - but these were not policies drafted by our current president.
